Hmmm, what's the rationale behind being *so* conservative in doing allocations? A /21 is already pretty small.
I agree personally. A /21 if far too small for a minimum. However I believe it is motivated by the inadequacies of CIDR, which needs fixing, and some SIG's that are not obvious in their motivations...
