I had resurrected a similar thread last year: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nanog/users/123155

There are sloppy networks out there. If it was a big enough problem all you'd need is a few key networks drop those prefixes and we'd have a...slightly less sloppy Internet?

issue.

Do we feel that it’s not that big of a deal?  Have we not really been paying 
attention?  Some other reason this seems to be a rather muted topic?
