Nonsense, they could be doing that right now, regardless of the space
being ARIN allocated or provider allocated. Why don't they? Probably
because it'll be a cold day in hell before any DSL provider even knows
what BGP is at the customer level, let alone speaks it with them.

This doesn't enable additional routing table bloat, it just centralizes
the people who actually do need it so the people who don't can be
filtered.
