In particular, if your site has 256 PTP links, you can convert from /30s to /
31s, save 128 IPs, but then trying to *actually use them* effectively outside
your AS ends up sounding like this:
"Eat your Brussel sprouts. Don't you know there's kids starving in Africa"
"OK, you can send my sprouts to them..."
