Um. Yes we do. It is called CIDR. It is well understood and has the minor advantage of being deployed. What we don't know how to do is aggregate in the face of people refusing to aggregate for 'non-network-topologic' (e.g., economic, political, business, etc.) reasons. One known and obvious way of doing this is by separating the two and providing a mapping. Locators can then be re-arranged without getting into non-network-topologic arguments.
