Re: Why?

Allocating anything longer than /32 is asking for a massive swamp.
It's bad enough that ARIN is issuing /48 microallocations as many
operators are only filtering routes longer than /48 right now.
Alternate path routing allows you to set the bar a bit higher for
getting PI space and allows anyone with two connections to multihome
(including people who couldn't multihome in IPv4).

You mean like this?
