I would strongly prefer a smaller block than a /32. ARIN has a /30. If 
someone makes a filter that allows upto /48 in that /30, this means 
that some evildoer could inject 250k /48s in that /30 and make routers 
all over the world run out of memory.

On the other hand, if RIPE would use a /35 or something like that, this 
would only allow for a maximum of 8192 of these prefixes. A leak of 
that size presumably won't kill too many routers.

I would also be very happy if RIPE would charge enough money to people 
wanting to do this to make them consider whether they really need it.
