True, but we'd have to try something that would be effective... Imagine
how many of those incompetent ASN's still have _outdated_ technical
contact email and phone numbers..

I think this is the way to go. It will break the ASN's who do not properly
have updated filters. The only thing to be careful is a type of
consequence where some of _your_ customers may attempt to get to one of
the broken ASN's. DNS issue at the broken ASN's may cause few
minor-to-medium oddities that may cause more phone calls on your end.
