As the first recipient of 24.0.0.0/14 which was the first /8 broken up and
given to an ISP I can say that your statement is a bit inaccurate*. *For
about a year a number of large ISPs would only accept an advertisement for
24.0.0.0/8 and so from day to day either our routes were accepted or
someone else with a chuck of 24.0.0.0/8 were accepted.  ISPs were not at
all okay with ARIN breaking up a /8.

Thanks!
