Yes, it would. It would seem ARIN should allocate small blocks on
a trade-in only policy. You can get a /24, but when you go to a /23 you
_will_ renumber, and soforth up to a /19 or so, at which time when you need
more you get an additional prefix.
That way you limit it to 1 route per ASN for small players, and
everyone can multihome.

What an administrative nightmare! Wouldn't it make more sense if ARIN
would at least reserve some space for people saying they need more? They
could always re-allocate it later. Renumbering can be tough, especially if
you're growing fast...
