#define static

Obviously, one's bogon filters (both for iACLs and for prefix-lists  
or whatever other mechanism one uses to filter the route  
announcements one accepts) must be dynamic enough in nature to  
accommodate updates when new blocks are cracked open.  'Static'  
shouldn't be read as 'eternal', although that's often what ends up  
happening.
