We probably should avoid anything which might demotivate future good
guys from finding breaking bugs and reporting them, while sending
perfectly standard-compliant messages. Only ones who will win are bad
guys who collect libraries of how-to-break-internet.
There are certainly several transit packet of deaths and BGP parser
bugs in each implementation, I'd rather have good guy trigger them and
give me details why my network broke, than have bad guy store them for
future use.
