any dangers of filtering every /24 on full internet table to preserve FIB space ?

there once used to be 'swamp' space, down in the low 190s where /24s
were expected. and folk/rirs tried to keep shorter aggregates, e.g.
/19s, as the norm above swamp (negotiated at ietf/danvers). in those
days, one could actually filter above swamp on /19. for a while, one
could even have classful filters in A and B space.
and a soda pop used to be a nickel or a dime. those days are long
gone.
i expect that we will accept prefixes longer than /24 as things get
tighter. and i doubt we can socialize constraining that fragmentation
to one section of the space.
it is a tragedy that cidr and an open market has helped us more than
ipv6 has.
