Many small providers aren't very good at filtering their routes in
the first place.  Sloppiness in a mini-nap is expected.
One person with a little clue and a route server can make _everyones_
lives easier in such a situation.

Scaling routers is relatively easy.  Scaling clue is harder. :-)

(Note that I wont disagree that in such a situation, full-mesh
 peering is a very viable option.)
