Re: RFC1918 addresses to permit in for VPN?

so any isp which lets the outside world see a packet with a source in 1918
space is in direct violation of 1918.
...
Nevertheless, the operational reality is that having a traceroute that
shows RFC1918 addresses is more useful than a traceroute that shows
* * *, and therefore I suspect most operators will continue to permit
RFC1918 addresses into their networks as long as a few questionable
individuals use them to source traffic.

(If they even bother to think about it.)
