Aftab, so for my new IX, I will get a /26 for the LAN (I have 10 members),
and a /24  (or /23) (because I am a member)?  After all, I need global
reachability for my lg, my portal, my member page  How does this help
conserve resources?

Why not give me a /24, and let me handle what I need, etc?  Despite
repeated wisdom, /25 (with a Route Object, and IRR) is as visible as a /24
in general.

My concern remains: why are IXs a special case at all?  As Vivek responded,
it is not like we have a separate pool for them anyway.  Why treat them
special?

Now, if you were proposing that an IX (to be encouraged) should be able to
request a /18 (!), now that might *encourage* IXs.  But again, someone this
large is likely to be commercial, they can afford to spend the money to buy
(dare I say "lease" a /18).
