With a /28 you won't appear far in the current IPv4 routing tables
either. Most sites filter prefixes longer than 24.
How do you currently use such a /28 as PI? Or did you become a LIR and
got that /20, just like is possible now with IPv6?

As an exercise for the readers try to remember why there are filters on
IPv4 /24 boundaries and the try to figure out why there are quite a
number of people not wanting IPv6 PI to fill their IPv6 routing tables.
