Why is is necessary insist that using bits in a fashion that doesn't
require that growth be predicated on requests for additional resources
be considered wasteful?


Don't we still need to subnet in a reasonably small fashion in order to contain broadcasts, ill-behaved machines, and 
other regular discovery crap that exists on any given segment?  And if we have to segment in such a fashion, the 
request and allocation of additional resources is a natural consequence of such containment.
