Well, education is one aspect, but those of us who are trying to do the
education find that it is an uphill struggle against complacency and
"I'm all right, mate" attitudes.

As for an Update Police, I can advertise Geoff's excellent site at
bgpupdates.potaroo.net - but I'm sure a weekly "BGP Update Report" mail
shot like the CIDR Report could be interesting, make such update
incidents a lot more visible, and help in the educational process.
