I am all for people deploying BCP38, but from the original email this is definitely not a cause for celebration. BCP38 should be used against single homed customers only if you're doing it by using uRPF. Otherwise extreme care needs to be taken to make sure traffic isn't dropped because uRPF does the wrong thing (like it seems in this case).
