Another benefit would be more meaningful output from tools like prtraceroute:
Of course I notice the lack of PRDB/RADB/IRR registration didn't effect your reaching the network. It seems to be a very reachable site regardless of one or two network provider's policies. Yes, network providers can stamp their feet and say they won't accept a network announcement unless it is in the IRR, or is not properly CIDRized, or is not an even number. But there will be other network providers who will get your traffic there anyway. So you have a choice, use one network provider who only routes "registered" networks and not reach certain sites. Or choose a different network provider who isn't as dogmatic and reach more networks. I use www.pizzahut.com as an example because it is memorable. You may not be able to justify it as R&E. But it makes for an easy to demostrate, concrete example of the effects of policy on Internet routing for the layperson. There are several hundred similar networks in the "Greater Internet." Somehow life goes on even though one or two network providers deny their customers access to these networks. Maybe we should change the slogan to "The Internet treats dogmatic policy as damage and bypasses it."
