I dont mind, i think it is another good step towards 'good filtering' but...i think the PITA part is downstream 'clueless' customers, who may need an explanation on prefix hijacking and the state of the internet today, and that these are all just combined efforts to minimize the risk of accepting allocations that don't belong to you.
IMO, it's just an illusion of added security and is really just CYA for the provider. When I fax TWTelecom an LOA that a customer faxed to me, how does TWTelecom verify the authenticity of that LOA? I doubt they try. I suspect it's just filed, and will only be pulled out if the advertisement is challenged by some 3rd party.
