At least indeed, unsurprisingly. I surprised myself with the CBBC, when I started a few months ago, blackholing 20K prefixes seemed like it would break something, then it went to 50 K and then 100K and then 135K and it still did not break anything that the beta-testers commented on.

Maybe we should transfer ASN 666 to blackhole use :P
