It also leaves a gap that vendors possibly could fill with minor changes
to filter specs. I.e. permit up to /N but require the last few bits to
be 0. This to prevent hijacking of unused blocks from sparse

There's still a lot that could be done within current standards by
implementing dynamic mechanisms that take the as-path-length into
account.
