Hello Stephen,

back to the "smallest allocation" per /8 that the RIRs have published
and make it part of the MoU at the larger NAPs/exchange points.

Commercial reasons? The traffic goes to the 32x/24 instead of the /19.
Not to mention the BGP customer may go to another provider. You end up
in discussions (if you get that chance at all) with your sales group
and look like a dogmatic fool as "other companies do this".
Saving the world works best if the pain is no one's fault - at least
"not my fault" ;-)
Regards, Marc
