These kind of issues have been demonstrated for as long as IPv6 has
existed, and people have been complaining to their account managers and
technical contacts too.

Vendors just do not see what the problem is it seems...

Wow, I honestly had not even noticed that one; but indeed, another one
that never should exist on the wire. At least for that one we can easily
point at XO. Likely they are the problem for hop 10 too.
Lets see if we can get them to resolve that mess...

(even though I rather had proper source filtering installed worldwide...)
