I've never seen anyone here complain that Yipes de-aggregates
66.7.128.0/18 into /24's like 66.7.129.0/24. Until the bigger providers
change their ways why should someone like me (who has only chopped a /20
into /21-/23 with a covering /20) decide that doing a single aggregate /20
announcement is going to make a difference?
