Is the route computation of a /8 prefix flapping once a second any different than a /24 flapping once a second? If /8's are "naturally" more stable, then why allow them to flap more before dampening them?
It's just another incentive to renumber into larger aggregate blocks. A provider can say to a customer: "If your /24 flaps you're going to be unreachable from some parts of the net for longer than you would if you renumber into our block." pbd
