That's what I predicted about 20 years ago, which is why
I proposed to have anycast name servers analyzing its
implications.

As such I'm sure anycast route withdrawal ignoring rfc3258
is poor engineering.

Scalable solutions can be constructed only with careful
theoretical analysis, against which random hacks, which
may work 99% of the time, are just harmful.

In facebook case, it was combined with poor understanding
on short/long expiration period to cause the disaster.
