This means that if they want to have more than 10^(0.22 * 16) = 3311
subnets, they must assign them more efficiently (more densely) than
site identifiers are assigned.  This should not be difficult to do,
since they would have no need to do variable-length subnet masks like
we're doing at this site in IPv4.  (Our subnets range in size from
/28 to /21.)
