Easy there tiger, that's not at all what I said, and it's not even close 
to what I think. Someone else already pointed out that where they have 
2-4 IPv4 blocks advertised now, they could easily get by with just 1 
IPv6 announcement. In my book that's making the routing table smaller, 
not larger. :)

What I'm advocating is not blindly bloating the routing table ad 
infinitum. What I'm suggesting is that we look at the whole chess board.
