A good start would be to get  BCP38  revised to  router  the Host
requirements RFCs,  to indicate  that  ingress filtering should be
considered mandatory  on  site-facing interfaces.

If the standards documents still just call it a best practice....  what
hope is there of  having governments  require it of the service providers
 that their networks are connected to, anyways?
