Partly political, but also partly technical - the multihoming issue
isn't really solved yet, and have every end site have their own /32
announced into the global table is not a scalable approach.

The political part is the "200 customer rule", which I personally did
not like very much (it came from ARIN and APNIC), but hey, for a serious
ISP that actually is connecting customers, it's not a major obstacle.
