And this is the point: dampening can actually lead to decreased network stability and non-deterministic behavior. Granted, this behavior is exasperated by not deploying a common dampening policy across all ASes (which is the why RIPE-229 was written). This would not be as problematic if dampening could be applied to a path rather than a prefix, since an alternate could then be selected. But since this would require modifications to core aspects of BGP (and additional memory and processor requirements) it does not seem a likely solution.
