Secondly, even if we get past that, it's the wrong answer. If I get a /48 from ISP A, and want to use it in "private" mode to set up VPNs to business partners who have their public connectivity from ISPs A, B and C, this /48 is going to cause various forms of head scratching for the operations people at all those business partners, and if it leaks, at all those ISPs. What is this /48 from ISP A doing on a site connected to B or C, or to a different part of A? Yes, this can all be configured to work, but it will be a much greater source of operational confusion than a /48 which by inspection can be seen to be private (not globally routeable) space.
