Operationally speaking, anything less than a /24 would be safe by
operators who care about anything that has to do with this, as they
won't be accepting advertisements smaller than this anyhow.

This goes back to a theoretical question I asked before Christmas,
whether I could just SWIP large blocks to myself if I was 'lazy'.

I think what you are proposing leans too far into operations, and would
put more burden on ARIN than required, when an op can just use the route
tables to find the source themselves. If this policy does pass, I
wouldn't want to see such extra stipulations added in...
