I agree with you in the utility of that, but sort of as a side topic... I wonder how many ASes are out there that have any significant volume of traffic/multi-site presences, but are exclusively 100% transit customers, do not have any PNIs at major carrier hotels, and are not members of any IX.

Okay, so some automated PeeringDB-based approach seems to be the preferred road. ~30% and ~40% of IPv4 and IPv6 PeeringDB prefix count recommendations are 0. How do you treat those cases? Does it also boils down to a simple "we don't peer with them" ? Best regards, Lars On 18.08.21 12:31,
