RIPE is now allocating subnets of 80/8 to end users.

In order to avoid the ugliness of various people announcing 80/8 without guaranateeing transit to all the subnets, if you are filtering subnets of this /8, please relax your filters to allow /20s and shorter,

RIPE have also been allocated 81/8 so it won't be *too* long before the same applies in that block too. Why not get the filtering change for the whole /7 out of the way now...
