You know if anyone was of a mind to find someone at fault over this, I'd start pointing the finger at ISP's who haven't been doing this due to "performance reasons". They've had the ability to do it for years and in doing so would seriously reduce the number and possibility of "spoofing" attacks.
Agreed, I myself work for an ISP which provides co-location services, and at first most admins (with years of experience might i add), just don't cared much about what's going out. When I got them all to filter outgoing packets, traffic dropped. A solution would be for kernels to provide an option to keep a local IP lookup table which could be simply based on network interfaces; of course, given an stable implementation, this option enabled by default would take care of spoofing problems for admins who don't think much about what they're sending out -- i mean, they're big part of the problem.
