Please explain how somebody with more than 4096 hosts in PA space is
supposed to renumber into a /20 of PI space.

I fear you propose that he move the first 3276.8 hosts, request a second
block, move another 3276.8 hosts, request a third block, etc. until he's got
a dozen new allocations which can't be aggregated.  Perhaps this explains
the explosive growth in the routing tables since ARIN took over.
