It does not really matter if this is a well-known community or a new
transitive attribute.
If ISPs do not turn this *on* on their customer connections, it will not
do anything - and given that those ISPs that *need* to turn this on are
the ones that are not caring today, I'm still not seeing why they would
turn this on tomorrow.
So you're adding implementation complexity which will not help anything.
