One point you missed: without good/accurate registry data, there is no
difference between "broken announcments" and "hijacked network". That
is a strong operational reason to strictly follow the registry
allocations, rather than the weak concern about people selling off
chunks of legacy address space.
I have been aware of several times when squatted, stolen, or
misconfigured-into-others'-space has been caught by registry-minded
filters. Specifically regarding slices of classical B-space and
not yet allocated A-space.
Cheers,
Joe
