It is about as temporary as a whole lot of other temporary things have
been over the years I suspect.
Anyway - as Brad Roldan of covad posted -

So I guess till Brad hires someone who thinks he can do better wrt
avoiding random eastern european providers leaking covad specifics,
those of y'all who want to can just accept his superblock
advertisements and forget about the deaggregates.
I don't suspect that the world is suddenly going to be rid of
providers in remote corners of the world who fatfinger their router
configs, or that everybody's suddenly going to adopt bcp38 and stop
bogus advertisements in their tracks .. so we just resign ourselves to
seeing entries like those remain fixtures in future cidr reports as
well :(
