Only when people do stupid things (like: Me some time ago, having it
stopped since). So, yes, this is a somewhat limited issue anyway.

I am arguing for:

- Let's not tell IXPs whether they should announce their peering LAN
- Let's certainly _not_ do anything that might lead to people feeling 
  the need to announce /26|/64 to eBGP or in any form normalize that, 
  because then RIB/FIB will explode eventually.

With best regards,
