Furthermore, /29 seems a little too small for a reasonable growth cycle before having to renumber. 50% fill of a /29 would be 3 of 6 usable addresses. Meaning many IXes could almost immediately qualify for a larger subnet, and they would have very much time to implement a renumbering process. Whereas with a /28, 50% fill would be 7 of 14 usable addresses. That seems like it would allow for reasonable growth before having to renumber and some runway to actually accomplish the renumbering process. Basically, a /29 is probably too small to be practical.
