But if provider X becomes undesirable, I'd expect people to
adjust local-pref on learned routes.  That reduces the amount of
traffic _to_ the provider in question, which certainly affects
symmetry.

If you _really_ want to get nasty, think frac-DS1, ^AS$ on
inbound, and ^$ on outbound. :-P

Oh, wait... except for the filter lists being a tish off, that's
how peering between certain providers used to be in the mid, even
late, 1990s. ;-)  [Stretching the truth, but certain inter-AS
hops sure made me wonder...]
