Most (if not all) larger hosting providers I know are LIRs, so this question
really doesn't apply.  And for smaller hosting providers, this can be
done - yes, it's painful, but the alternatives are also painful.

When asking for "PI-for-everbody" keep in mind that everybody *else*
has to pay the cost, and if the pain level gets too high, might just
decide to drop "PI-for-everbody" routes..
