When you say "you must be THIS large a network to participate" you are
talking about networks that are smaller than 61 hosts (plus a router,
network address and broadcast address), and also don't have a plan to have
a total of 123 hosts in one year.

(the numbers go down a bit if you have a reason to need more subnets).

I ask for all posters that reference this policy being unfair to small
networks, to disclose if they have less than 61 hosts, or cannot meet a
plan for 123 hosts.

This bar was intended to prevent anyone who wanted their own address space
from getting it and routing it, and contributing to the global routing
table.

Routing table size IS a real concern, even with current hardware.

(and it is not just 572K IPv4 routes and the 24K IPv6 which cost between
1.9 and 2.2 times as much space, but also all of the internal routes that
large networks are nice enough to aggregate for everyone, and the number of
routes as a function of your architecture and peering locations)

How much lower of a bar would you suggest?

Striking the 61 hosts now and leaving a promise of 123 or more in a year's
time?

Would you want to lower it 29 hosts now or 13 hosts?
