While I agree in principle, 16 bits of disaggregation has the potential for a lot of mayhem and 32 bits (accepting /64 from PA) would be catastrophic. This would seem to be a case where upstream providers can assist the end user in obtaining their own PI space if they wish to multihome. It would be in the provider's interest as it would reduce the number of potential complaints from customers concerning multihoming problems. I filter /32 from PA space and am currently filtering one route but since the aggregate it is from has the same next hop and since I don't see the route from anyone else, I'm not worried about it.
