I agree. And an end-user's initiative like this one can also help wake them up and preventing them of using the "nobody is asking for IPv6"'s excuse.

Cameroon Universities run really small networks per site and I think a /32 is OK for them now. Anyway I guess the technical contact of that LIR is in this mailing list and can talk more about the reasons of their choice. 

Thank you for your continuing support and experience sharing.
