I take transit from Qwest (209), and had to contact them directly and open a ticket several weeks ago to get them to stop leaking private ASNs into my tables. They stopped leaking them to me, but apparently going the extra step and making sure the leak was filtered everywhere was too much to ask.
BTW, private AS leaks are reported as part of the IPMA "routing problems" reports (http://www.merit.edu/ipma/reports/). Yes, it is based off route-server data; no, peering with route-servers at a given location does NOT mean you have to use them for exchanging routing updates. It is in the best interest of the community for anyone at exchange points where there is a route-server to participate. IMO not doing so indicates the desire to hide data, or some measure of irresponsibility; encourage your providers and peers to supply externally-validated stability data. Speaking of which, I have not seen any data, public or private, that WCOM is establishing a route-server presence at MAE-E ATM. It seems customers are going to lose a service in the MAE-E FDDI close, and all of us will lose a data-gathering point.
