There is no such thing as an ASN bloat. Note that I'm not saying we
should go to Change #1, but the argument about ASN bloat does not hold
water with 32-bit AS Numbers: Even if each AS announces only 1 prefix,
we have a problem with routing table bloat a long time before we get to
4 billion ASNs. When we get to 1 billion ASNs and 1+ billion entries in
the GRT :-D then we can think about ASN bloat and how to stop it before
the 4 billion limit hits us.
