Supernetting, summarizing, whatever you want to call it, at aggregation
points within your network is a great idea, so yes I agree that somewhere
in your network you should try to aggregate routes as much as possible.
Flattening a /14 worth of space and giving users a 255.252.0.0 netmask on
their desktops sounds more like "Super-kludging" than "supernetting" :)
Why would you have 520 stations consuming a /14 worth of space anyways?
