That said- ARIN is handing out /48's- should we be blocking validly
assigned networks?

your network might have to to protect it's valuable routing slots. There
are places in the v4 world where /24's are not carried either. So, as Bill
said just cause you get an allocation doesn't mean you can assure
routability of it everywhere.
I understand the problems but I think there are clear cut cases where /48's make sense- a large scale anycast DNS provider would seem to be a good candidate for a /48 and I would hope it would get routed. Then again that might be the only sensible reason...
