Any reason two small rural players shouldn't start with a PA /30 and
renumber into a larger block if/when they get a third participant?
Yes, renumbering is hard. Renumbering is even harder for rural entities
that don't have tons of high end network engineers around. It's hard
enough for rural service providers to pool enough funds to buy a switch
and stand up an IX, discouraging them from building additional
interconnectivity by making it difficult to get IP addresses is
disappointing.
On the other hand, there is absolutely no downside to keeping the
requirement the way it is. Changing it does nothing for conservation of
IPv4 addresses at all, as any dishonest players won't have a harder time
at all faking 3 entities as compared to 2.
