That varies a lot. Are you sure all users of "PA-multihoming" really
understand the consequences/limitations?

In Europe most ISP's won't touch PA-space from other providers. In the
US most will require some confirmation that they're allowed to originate
the prefix, a confirmation it may take weeks or months to produce,
blocking the quick changes one assume possible with PI-space.
