Yes, it would be very convenient. I might want to advocate extending it to
be "one /32 per 16-bit AS" and have the routing table grow to a whopping
2^16 routes. That must be painful. Surely. 

32-bit AS numbers is something I see taken care of by Moore, if we do not
find a new routing model, which of course is the elegant way, but for now,
brute force does it.
