This is what Pekka Savola proposed in his draft. People will start 
screaming about 32-bit ASes. It's also similiar to my draft on creating 
IPv6 swap space. There are less than 15000 LIRs. Each LIRs /32 is more 
address space than most of them have today. Add the routes from all 
remaining AS:es. I don't see the problem.

I am still waiting for the IPv6 routing table to reach 1000 routes. 
Call me then.
