Sure, but you don't _need_ to ask on 6bone list -- you could just send an 
email or knock your neighbour's door.

Not that I'd be forbidding such queries, but we were kinda in a same 
situation before, in thread:

Subject: Filtering prefixes longer than /24

To save the hassle from everyone, it's better not have too high hopes for
