I know that Erol's was going to, and that Priori will likely, but for
different reasons than you are used to.  The primary reason that I have
considered filtering is for protection against AS7007 type problems
affecting my network.  I.e. If you deaggregate the entire world and send it
to me, I may be "not listening" to enough of it that I would be safe.
