Whether the standard says it's illegal or not, /127s works fine (yes,
even /127).  Why create ambiguities by assigning more than 2 IPs to
something that needs exactly 2?

We run /127 transit networks on all our tunnel and serial ptp
interfaces, it works fine, and by looking at one end you immediately
know which IP the other end will have.
