Over half of the table is made-up of /24s; that is not a coincidence.
If any new "standard" is chosen for the minimum visible prefix size, you can bet all of those /24 announcements will start turning into a lot more /25 announcements very quickly.
"But otherwise I'm liable to hijack!", ad infinitum.
I dunno about you, but I can see a lot of operators not being too happy with a ~25% increase in the number of prefixes they're storing in TCAM.
I think getting the DFZ to lower the minimum prefix size from a /24 is nothing more than wishful thinking. I would bet that IPv4 will run out completely before that happens.
