As a customer I have no problem paying for /16s so long as you'll give
me as many as I wish to buy.

That's not what's being talked about - unless the members of the new
entity feel that it should be done, which I seriously doubt.
What *might* happen is that any new ISP with $5k could get an
independent /19 from the registry from day 1 and not have to
play the renumbering game.
Again, it'd depend on what people agreed to - the members, but
also IANA... The new registry will still be under IANA 
But for now, it appears that the new registry will be subjecting
people to the same requirements as the old registry...
