You presume that no-one is doing that (hint: many of us are), and that
any action is taken (if so, none is visible).
Kai's post is not fiction. Guess what? A lot (not all) squatters get
caught quite nicely in those "evil" prefix length filters. If you HAVE
an allocation and for some reason just announce deaggregates, to a
third party you look *just* like the black hats. How does this help
your reachability while you're grazing on the commons?
Think about that for a second before the knee jerks up.
Cheers,
Joe
