I've been mulling this over for days, and have concluded that
my only option is to abstain.

I regard it as quite plausible that if we do nothing (modulo
deploying IPv6) the BGP4 table size will eventually stabilise at
about 1 million entries, and it's very plausible that this will
not be a technological problem.

I can't say No to that, but I can't say Yes either, because
there is no issue unless the demand for multihoming expands
*disproportionately* to the general growth of the network. I
have no reason to believe that it will expand disproportionately.
Neither of these abstentions means that we shouldn't look for
a scalable solution, of course.
