Re: aggregation & table entries

    or... why do people insist on injecting routes to non-existent
    things?    a route table entry is a route table entry, regardless
    of the scope.  

Is this where you advocate that providers only announce the parts of
their assigned blocks that are in use?

        seems like a good lead in, so yes - i advocate folks only
        announce what they use.  may play old-hob on the ISP that
        likes to use some other metric for accepting announcements,
        (e.g. RIR or other routing registry DB) and will no doubt
        increase the tension on justification of proxy announcements,
        but overall, this seems to be a good goal.

        thanks for letting me rant. :)
