Probably more accurate to say that they have never guaranteed routability.

They make all kinds of presumptions about routability. One of the reasons
they claim to refuse (say) private /24 is that it isn't going to be widely
routable. By default, this implies that larger delegations are presumed to
be routable, or else they wouldn't assign them either.
