May I ask how you are 100% confident that there are 0 deployments of IPVPN's, today, that have no need for more than 1,023 private ASN's (64,512 - 65,535)?  And, while I'm here, may I also ask why you believe it better that operators be forced to _continue_ to play games with 'as-override'[1] and/or 'loops'[2] to overwrite and ignore, (respectively), duplicative private ASN's in the AS_PATH in such large IPVPN's, breaking BGP's fundamental loop detection mechanism, due to the limited space of private ASN's, ultimately making troubleshooting for said operators more complicated?  (Oh, and increasing the complexity of the BGP codebase, associated regression test cases run by vendors & operators, etc.)?
