Yes, but those PIs are allocated from specific sub-ranges that are documented. So you can still filter MOST of the space by allocation boundaries, and accept /24 only in the "PI" ranges. We do this. This is RIPE-specific (we aggregate most non-RIPE routes under 0.0.0.0/0), but other RIRs may have similar policies, although probably with easier-to-find PI swamp ranges. -- Simon.
