Please permit me to dissent to that.

In principle, what you say is not without merit; in practice consider that In 
time, the ip usage of resources allocated to me is used in non-contiguos 
manner. 

while all is ok when the resources are annunced as allocated, in the remote 
case i release some /24 the route disaggregation will be done by announcing 
all /24 in lieu of the natual /19 so while in principle what you say has some 
merit, the *cost* of doing that, for all LIRs, is an explosion of BGP tables 
where now is already at about 1Mroutes. 

so the cost for the SMALLs that have also small equipment will be the forced 
sustitution to more preforming ones with the associated non-negligible costs.

Secondly it is more likely in the SMALL category that the business model we 
have is based on other consideration that the reselling of capacity with ip 
address so not necessarily the possession of the default assignment is 
directly generating revenue. You cannot assume the business model you are used 
to is the same for all.
