Quick comment: IGP bloat != BGP bloat. Your customers cannot announce the space you gave them externally - unless ~/32s, i.e. forced aggregation.
Still waiting on ARIN to get back to my argument that I am allowed to assign /32s to my subtending ISPs who are of X size or are multihomed.
Also, your customers shouldn't need to come back for more very often and ideally you have some reservations for them a well :).
If the initial allocation from ARIN is only for current infrastructure and customers (the bare minimum), there is no room for reservation, nor will customers have room to grow in the initial allocation. This is the problem with minimal on initial instead of HD-Ratio (which is what the rest of the policy is based on), but it could lead to fragmented networks.
