And my point was if a "Really Big Global Carrier" is 
accepting and routing longer-than-/24's and /48's in their 
network (which reasonably well-connected and peers with 
other large carriers who have a similar persuasion), there 
is a higher (but still remote) chance that some portion of 
those longer subnets could be routable.

Not very globally, but the intermittent performance would 
certainly raise enough frustration for some operators to 
seriously consider this.

What I'm saying is - don't even do it. Doing it half-way is 
worse than not doing it at all, because it sets expectations 
that are difficult to undo.
