In IPv4 that's not going to happen as it wastes too much address space.
I'm not sure how strict the RIRs are with IPv6 space, but it looks to me
they are still in the process of wrapping their minds around 128 bits.
(Think about it: 64 bits is enough to give every square millimeter of
earth surface an address.)
