There's no real need for such drastic measures over this. The Internet is no longer a "safe" place, meaning that the sane NSPs/ISPs sanitize their networks rather than trust someone else to do it for them, or trust someone else to never make mistakes. As such, the diligent network operators and their networks will not even be affected by this.

Indeed, the Internet is not a safe place. It always surprises me when people think otherwise. Regardles, it is a place where someone else's mistake can cost YOU.

Also, there is a sentence that I like, I learned it from a proffessor here, but it is well known:

"Never attribute to malice something that can be easily explained by sheer stupidity".

One of the most true I ever heard, and indeed, stupidity does hurt us. Does it matter if it is malicious by /intent/?

best,
