This argument doesn't hold.  Look at Telia - they got a /20.  That's
enough address space for at least 5 million /48s.  Nothing precludes
AOL or T-Online from applying for a /18, or even more, based on their
customer numbers.

(Also, if "every ISP that is able to fill a /20" will insert a 2nd or
3rd prefix into the global table, it definitely won't kill any router)
