Blocking a whole network (/65) is totally undesirable and may even become
illegal.
Currently it may not only happen at the target of the DDoS attack, but be
spread all over the internet where block lists are enforced.
I don't expect that to happen and if it happens I'm surely in favor of
protection against this type of 'solution' because it will block not only
malicious clients but potentially many other legitimate clients.
