I agree with Henry.

In the best of circumstances CIDR reduces the growth of routing
information to roughly log(#sites). So, yes, in theory over time
it could go "to 10 again", but that would require the number of
sites that may be well beyond IPv4 (or even any IPng) addressing
capabilities. 

Your first 5 words say alot.  This assumes alot, including customers 
that don't switch providers and inject more specific routes (this is
happening already).  You're also assuming that we have a mechanism
for aggregating routes for folks who choose not to (or can't, for
some reason).

CIDR only buys us a *little* time.  Pigs still can't fly :-).
