In that case I think we agree, an operator shouldn't intentionally renumber
"just 'cuz".  However the scenarios I mentioned are far from the Operator
going *out of their way* to not support stable prefixes. The question is
just around how stable they are, and once you start having to ask that
question, then shouldn't we be looking at ways to mitigate the impact to an
end-user?
