i don't get it.  this is supposed to be a good thing.

am i supposed to just announce the 200+ /8s that cover the
net, figuring anyone who has space will announce their
longer prefix?

tricky stuff sits and waits to backfire on one.  so the
older and lazier of us tend to play as close to the
straight and narrow as we can to get the job done.
