Just we don't see it now DR> doesn't mean we won't see it sometime in the future... Ditto ge 25. I might have missed the RFC where that was specified; AFAIK, it's a de facto standard. Here's a big difference: Assume all /8 (except for 0/8, 127/8, and 224/3) could be aggregated. How many announcements would be saved? I could live with 200-some /8 announcements as a result of shorter prefixes being deaggregated. I suspect announcing uebershort prefixes isn't a big concern. Let's first address the issue of stray /24 prefixes. Your question is interesting in theory, but has little applicability to operational practices. It shouldn't be forgotten, and anyone using an "le 7" filter should stay on top of things... but I don't see it as a pressing issue. Better yet, let RIRs allocate based on prefix length. Then Verio-style filters would work great, save for small multihomed networks. However, if said multihomed nets used IRRs... Uhoh. Combining a handful on NANOG threads probably is a dangerous thing to do.
