Some people wont (want to or be able to).  I am trying to do some  
quick exercises in my head to work out which networks will be most  
affected when prefixes get more aggressive, or bgp updates get  
dropped.  My thoughts are that the networks which deagg most, will  
have the largest problem being reached in this event.

I think we informally call this Rough Justice on the right hand side  
of the pond.


When we give someone advice about why they're not reachable, it's  
going to start to be much more valuable an exercise to check closely  
the size of their announcements.
