Imho, that is not fair to network community to have such filters if RIRs are giving these IPs to ppl out there. It is somehow "us" that delegated RIPE and such to provide us with policies and guard our IP usage. If they decided to give smaller allocations to save space (or otherwise) we should comply. I wouldn't like to have my fully legal prefixes to be dropped out of the internet just because someone wants to have /xx on its borders. Having said that I must admit that we do have /24 filtering, but frankly speaking I learnt today that RIPE is giving longer prefixes that /24, so I think we should update the filters accordingly to include these microallocations. That doesn't mean that I am for deagregation of routes outside of that microallocations and I think /24 limit is reasonable to protect against it.
