If the RIR have not to check small allocations anymore, they can chack if an
ISP is big or not.

Number of transit, peering, bandwidth, number of customer... define if an ISP
is big or not, and then RIR can decide if it *need* to be independent

An ISP with a single 34Mbps line, a single transit and no peering can renumber.

When an ISP is small, renumbering is not a really big problem.
DNS changes can be automated.
Router configuration, if it was good made are not a problem either.
Host configuration is not a problem at all in v6.
