No. But renumbering an IX is *pain*. A lot of pain. You want to avoid that if 
possible.
A /26 allows (given that the IX uses about 2-4 IPs itself) about 60 customers.

So according to the numbers, for 70% of the IXes this will never fill up, so no 
need for renumbering.
Depending on how quickly it filled up, you then go either for a /25 or a /24.

To sum up:
- if you start with a /26 ==> 30% has to renumber
- if you start with a /29 ==> 75% has to renumber ---> more pain!

Makes sense?

best regards
Wolfgang
