people inside one of the largest networks have told me that they have
customers who require the ability to bypass BCP38 restrictions, and that
they will therefore never be fully BCP38 compliant.  i've asked for BCP38
to become the default on all their other present and future customers but
then there was whining about bankruptcy, old outdated equipment, and so on.
sadly, there's no way to de-peer this network, or any other multinational,
and so there will be no "peer pressure" on them to implement BCP38.
Consider people in the rest of the world who may purchase simplex satellite links. By definition they inject traffic in places they aren't announcing their route from.

so, it's either not in everyone's interests to do the right thing, or there
is still a huge variance in what's considered "the right thing".  either
way, we're (the internet is) SCREWED until we (that's "we all") fix this.

(if you're not seeing spoofed-source attacks, bully for you!  i didn't see
one today, either, but leaving this tool in the bad-guy toolbox makes us all
unsafe, no matter how much or how little they may be using it this day/year.)
