True.
If the ISP with the longest prefix is alive first, then the routers
pick subnet-id parts that fit into that. If that ISP has provided
enough subnets, then even when another ISP comes along, the "xx23"
part might remain stable for a long time.
I think this is a human friendly feature that none of our protocols
should depend upon, but that nothing should forbid. Do you agree?
