On second thought, I guess one thing has changed considerably
since 15 years ago.  Rather than ~5000 monkeys with keyboard
access to manipulate global routing tables, there are likely well
North of 250,000 (>25k active ASNs * 10 meat computers per),
which is surely well on the conservative side.

The bottom line is [still] that ISPs should at least explicitly
filter prefixes from customers and networks from which they
provide transit services.
