The protocol doesn't easily support renumbering.  As a (non-exclusive) result, provider aggregatable is less desirable (from an enterprise perspective) than provider independent.  From my perspective, attempting to "insist on aggregation" (that is, discouraging enterprise PI) implies attempting to define a particular relationship between networks operators. Haven't we been here before?
