Not a personal endorsement, just a summary of the responses
so far to the question: "Should we allocate something larger
than /48 for microallocs in case they have bad side effects?"
All the responses so far have been emphatically "No!"

I am still concerned about possible side effects that are
unique to /48: Having to accept millions of deaggregated
/48's to get the best/only route to sites with traffic
engineered/orphaned routes.  I'm not saying that larger
microallocs will prevent that, because there certainly
are other forces at work, only that they *might*
reduce/delay/prevent it.
