The reflects actually pretty steady growth... participating in the IPV6 dfz is not presently expensive. Were it maximally aggregated it would be 926 routes. 95% agregation is pretty nice. In ipv4 land we're at 239k routes ~154k maximally aggregated 64% efficiency from the aggregation angle... But only 25506 ASes are actually participating in the v4 routing system. While I won't presume that the IPV6 routing table will remain unmessy when the other 24698 ASes decide they need some v6 I think it's be quite some time before the v6 picture looks like the v4 one (most of those networks will not be going back to the rir for a new block at regular intervals). Their is always the possibility that somebody decides they need announce all their /48s for TE or anti-hijacking purposes in which case filters and clue should be applied in that order. There is no reason in the ipv4 dfz for example for me to need a thousand routes from 18566 or 9498 in order to reach all their address blocks.
