That would involve someone lifting a finger and implement
a config change. Much easier to implement BCP38 or was it
RFC 4732? Would never work the moment someone has to lift
a finger.

I think I'll change my position on BCP38.  It's pointless to try
blocking spoofed source addresses because:

* It doesn't solve every single problem
* It means more effort for service providers
* It requires more CPU processing power
* Using it will generate smarter "black hats".
