I totally support this.  The weekly CIDR report shows that people aren't
aggregating their blocks as is, and public shame does nothing to change
that trend.  Requiring a single aggregate during transfer or allocation does
nothing to prevent the recipient from splitting it into tiny fragments seconds
after they receive the allocation, and turns the existing policy into
a toothless
dragon.  This will simply make policy fit the demonstrated real behaviour
of networks in the real world.
