hmm, as a vict^H^H^H^H former associate of a few startups I can
assure you the customer will almost never know how much space
they need for growth, or when.  :)

If customer requested more space, rather than grow into another adjacent
block, we would just assign them an additional block elsewhere in the
overall subnet, and route both blocks to them.

Seems reasonable as long as it can be done whenever the customer
discovers they really do need more space.
