So why does it need to be done by somebody "official"? Why make
organizations who don't have route servers do this?

I've been peering with Rob's bogon server for a little while, and it works
great. All of my customers get routes that point the bogons to a traffic
sink on my network. If they were so inclined, they could sink that traffic
before leaving their network.
