My comment is solely sourced on my direct observations on my network, maybe
30-45 minutes in.

Everything except a few /24s disappeared from DFZ providers, but I still
heard those prefixes from direct peerings. There was no disaggregation that
I saw, just the big stuff gone. This was consistent over 5 continents from
my viewpoints.

Others may have seen different things at different times. I do not run an
eyeball so I had no need to continually monitor.
