On my practice multihoming PI users ask one more prefix each time
the previous one exhausted. Its coused by difficults while receiving
one large enough PI subnet. Instead of becoming LIR and have no
problems with PA, such users save money and got a couple of small
PIs for a space solution... Yeah, here, in xUSSR, it is common
practice. :(

As IPv4 PI qustion rised again, in my opinion, we have think
about reasonable and clear limits for maximum PI assignment size
to reduce described above problem and coused routing table impact.
