Based on observations in v4 land, there are sites that specifically want to do something other than the first option, and I specifically want to preclude them from doing so.
For almost every site, a /48 is enough. For those for whom it's not enough, they already want separable advertisements for TE purposes (e.g., multiple data centers), so they need either multiple /48's or tricks like above in any case.
I think pekka already hinted at it, but people interested in this topic really should look at: http://www.iepg.org/march2006/BGP-2005.pdf for some analysis of a situation that could get worse. I think there's arguments both ways on this, but Geoff's talk was very interesting and enlightening. -- Tim/::1
