To the list? I don't see what good that would do - it should go to the
owner of the addresses and the parties announcing it. This hasn't been
done.
Another factoid to consider - I know of a company that has a Class C that
they don't use. To my knowledge, nobody has ever even asked that
they give it up. Some automated email process could do this without
much effort.
I (and others) have suggested forced aggregation except for routes
that are specifically registered as "don't aggregate". I haven't
seen any movement towards that.
