To be honest we're really not dealing with a heavily used piece of critical
infrastructure so it's probably not worth worrying too much about breaking
things during a changeover.

It's probably best to wait until a new online allocation system is up and
running rather than manually assigning IP's now.

A new system should allow someone from each region with appropriate
permissions to manipulate allocations as required when the network changes.
 There should be an option to choose the size of the subnet to issue as of
course not everyone needs a /28. You may find in a lot of cases those not
running AP's will only need a /29 or /30.
