Introducing the greater risk of blackholes, and potentially  
increasing the complexity and size of the routing table.

In one of our facilities we work with two  upstream telcos supplying  
IP.  IP Connectivity *must work* here or our business will die.  We  
would have to co-ordinate change through two large, uncaring,  
inefficient bodies, who must make their changes at the same time.   
What you propose would not work for us.
