It's worthwhile to be specific. Allocating a /24 for two networks to meet
is wholly un-necessary. Three is an entirely different story. If someone
can't get three networks to demonstrate they want to interconnect across a
switch....Not really raising the bar, just insuring we aren't being
wasteful.
