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.
