Unfortunately, it seems many operators don't care about a few deaggregated
routes here or there, but then we all complain that router model X is no
longer able to hold a full BGP table and then people either have to spend
lots of $ (which is fine if you work for / own stock in cisco or juniper),
but pretty much sucks for everyone else or implement filters to cut back
the crap routes.
