Look.  I think Kim's point is true.  They *do* allocate more space
*than* you actually need so that when you need it, you can actually
get it *then*.

If you're growing fast enough, you'll have to renumber *once*.
If you choose poorly your upstream providers, you'll have to
renumber more than once.
