i'd be satisfied if bcp38 were widely enough deployed so that experiments
based on ip spoofing wouldn't be scientifically valid due to sample size
and population size issues.

i know there's no way to force or enforce, nor any way to prove, universal
bcp38 compliance, and so i know that all apps, protocols, firewalls, and
ops staff will have to live with ip spoofing as a real possibility forever.

in spite of that i would like ip spoofing to become an unreliable service.
