Also, if you'll review the messages to which you're responding, you'll
note that the customer is often an ISP with customers of its own so
there are far too many ranges to handle manually.
An "ISP" who does not understand and use BGP is probably not serious.
It must be nice to live in a world where you can turn away customers
who pay a lot of money, just because they're not serious enough.
The ISP business is not really a high profit margin one. Some customers
are a loss. The tendency of wanting to multihome without running a routing
protocol is a good indicator of lower profit margin. If for nothing else
then for the increased support load.
There used to be threshold problems with getting AS numbers and such, but the
increased AS number space helps a lot. The arguments against DTRT are weaker.
