No.
The address delegated to customers (the /48s) would be PA addresses:
you would be the Provider, and the addresses would be Aggregatable by
your /32 (or whatever).
That /32 (or whatever) would be Provider Independent (PI), and you
would never need to renumber regardless of how many times you yourself
changed providers.
