</div>That is would be somewhat illogical IMHO. Assignments and allocations<br>
are two different things. The minimum allocation size has never been<br>
applied to assignments, so why start now? We've never had a minimum<br>
assignment size, at least not in recent years.<br>

I am not at all concerned about the routing table here. There is nothing<br>
in policy nor in the RIPE database software that prevents people from<br>
adding /32 route objects and attempting to advertise them into the DFZ.<br>
There are at the moment 3888 route objects in the database with that are<br>
/25 or longer, but the routing community seem to be able to ignore them<br>
just fine. I don't see how "nano-PI" would be any different, the routing<br>
community won't have any difficulty ignoring those either. After all, a<br>
router couldn't care less if a route is from an inetnum with status<br>
"ASSIGNED PA" or "ASSIGNED PI".<br>
<br>
Or to put it another way, we don't need policy to forbid every bad idea<br>
under the sun. Let the routing community decide how they want to deal<br>
with this one.<br>
