does history repeat itself?

["Brett D. Watson" <bwatson () genuity net>]

  i noticed some pretty poor aggregation in some of the most recently 
allocated address space tonight:  (advertising as's withheld to 
protect the innocent/guilty)

208.201.64.0/21 
208.201.73.0
208.201.88.0/21
208.201.97.0
208.201.103.0
208.201.112.0/22
208.218.64.0/20
210.135.160.0/20
210.135.192.0/22
210.135.224.0/20


  this seems especially bad with all the talk of better ways to 
allocate and advertise so that we don't waste address space.  i do 
note that most of what i call poor aggregation appears to be due to 
"dual homing".  are we just doomed to poor aggregation because of 
this?

  or maybe i'm just naive in thinking the internic is really cracking 
down on small allocations and that providers are really working hard 
to aggregate.
