EP.NET has been doing "micro-allocations" for longer than all but
one RIR has been in existance. That said, I am greatful that RIRs
themselves are doing micro-allocations. This for two reasons:
) customers should have -choice-
) using multiple prefixes reduces the impact of route flap
taking out everyone.
