Is there some central repository for information on this? We usually
seem to find out about such changes out of the ARIN region a bit after
the fact.

Have we not learnt from v4?

If there are to be filters then they should be defined once and never
changed as people will fail to update

If a different allocation requirement arises then start a new prefix
(v6 is big enough to handle this) and define its filter once. Do not
allocate it from an existing range and expect people to adjust their
filters.
