I'm seeing this announced at CIXP

My question is, why am I not seeing more issues because of the announcement?
Other than gabage hijacking, potential blackholing, or stage 2 of redirecting traffic [where stage 1 would require a total outage for the real traffic], what "more issues" would you expect?
Is it just not propagating out of the exchange? It's been announced for a few days and only seems to appear at the exchange.
Members at that exchange would be able to answer: how are they seeing it, is it NO-EXPORT tagged, etc.
It's so 'non-specific', all it's going to catch is traffic for destinations for which there is no route in the global table. i.e. it's likely nobody would notice it (nothing broken) unless looking for it.
To randy's point, folks who are caring enough to filter often have ceiling filters to prevent utter silliness. The interesting experiement would be who would propagate it if there was an IRR entry for it. route-views.oregon-ix.net>sho ip bgp 128.0.0.0/2 % Network not in table route-views.oregon-ix.net> ...so it is being stepped on appropriately by at least AS29222:AS-TRANSIT.
