Managing a filter list on one or a few route-servers rather than an AS with hundred edge routers is so much time saving and less humanerror-prone.
But balance that with keep the path from filter list to route-server short too - because if you need to adjust a filter list in response to a network (or utility) emergency, you want to make sure the data is available.
