Holy smoke! That's really major.
This is the first I've heard of this (although it makes technical sense to
try and avoid unaggregable allocations). I hadn't realized the registries
were trying to guard against routing table bloat as well as address space
exhaustion. I'm curious, when did this start, and how was it decided?
Wow.
