We have considered assigning a /32 to each root name server and asking
everybody in the universe to carry these 10 or so routes in the interest
of complete and permanent provider independence.  So rather than worry
about the /24's ... :-)

If there has to be a separate route for each one anyway, why not just 
blow 253*10 addresses and announce a /24 for each root name server, even 
if only one IP out of each /24 is used?

Less CPU to blow holes in filters that normally deny > /24.
