Also the Internet doesn't get more instable with more prefixes.
Can you back that claim by some facts or research studies? I know that people at a couple of universities are researching into this right now, and currently the primary assumption is "yes, it does" (because the sheer size of the lists is longer, routers *need* more time to process them, delaying convergence, plus every now and then you hit a boundary that causes BGP flaps due to out-of-memory and/or necessary router upgrades).
