I don't really see the need to stop doing so. If you're managing your
routing and firewall filters manually, you have bigger problems than the
release of Bogon space. 

Can you share the Cisco configuration snippet you recommend to  
dynamically FILTER bogons using BGP or DNS?

        On a router with full routes (ie: no default) the command
is:

Router(config-if)#ip verify unicast source reachable-via any 

        Go ahead and try it out.  you can view the resulting
drop counter via the 'show ip int <x/y>' command.

        While you're at it, you also placed the reachable-via rx on
all your customer interfaces.  If you're paranoid, start with the 'any'
rpf and then move to the strict rpf.  The strict rpf also helps with
routing loops.
