If provider A is connecting to a small IXP in order to connect to provider
B, but the /29 is controlled by a third party (provider C) that provider A
may not even choose to peer with, then provider A may be reluctant to
connect.  If the IXP can get ARIN space based on 3 participants, that seems
like the logical cutoff point to me.

I still (weakly) support the change from 2 to 3, but would not support a
larger number.
