I'm wondering how many of you who are multihomed also add
default routes pointing to your providers from whom you
are receiving full feeds.

If so, why? If not, why not?

We filter out default routes from our upstreams, but many of 
our customers request it so we send them both full + default 
routes.

We have not yet been in a position where a default route to 
an upstream would have come in handy, as we do a lot of 
peering (close to 70% of our Internet traffic) and have a 
reasonable number of upstreams.
