At the risk of repeating myself, I respectfully disagree.  Given that  
you
can reasonably build a flat subnet of 1000 hosts today, it does
not seem like an unreasonable entry point.  Mom & Pop 6-pack
have one computer.  George & Jane Jetson only have 6.  Why
does the entry point have to be more than two orders of
magnitude above the common case?

Once again, that's the MSO's doing that, not ARIN.
