That would mean that:

- special exceptions for /48 microallocs have to be made

- poor man's multihoming (using more-specifics of PA aggregates) would
  get hindered even more

- filters need updating again as soon as PI is finally being approved
  by the ISP communities

In my book, enduser multihoming is no pollution but as valid use as any
ISP multihoming (PA agregates). I know you disagree, so we better leave
it at that. :-)

But I see the point that people are leaking more-specifics accidentally.
Those can be contacted and educated though. Not an easy task, granted.


Best regards,
