There is one huge disadvantage.  If the ether segment goes down in an ip
unnumbered setup, then even if everything is physically ok on the serial
link associated, that serial link will become unusable.  From a monitoring
perspective, unnumbered is a bad idea.  I suspect some people use it to
save ip space.
