Well you and the rest of these so called "dreamers" can help with the purchase of my new routers that don't exist yet to support you wanting to multi-home a /29 and have the rest of the Internet world hold all of these said /29's in their tables. Most folks who get a /29's don't care how they get to and from the internet, they just want to always be able to get there. TE at that granular of a level is not needed. So in other words, you and the rest of the world of these dreamers can keep dreaming, because I doubt any sensible ISP would accept and pass along anyone announcing /29's .... and then there's V6, which I won't even get started on. Most ISP's are having a hard time holding 300k ipv4 routes as of today, and you want to de-aggregate even farther??
