Was wondering exactly the same thing.  What's the perceived benefit of
*not* doing this?  Save 50 EUR/year?  Less breakage? (ie, it takes
longer to fix them?)

Though I'm all fine with this /48 from PA blocks thingy (had been out of
the loop on this one).  Makes it doable to set up my /48-from-PA-/32 LIR
1-click-webshop :)
