You've left out the operators, *all* of whom are going to audit all 
their all their configuration state and update any string-form 
filters of ASNs. There's no point revisting the arguments though, so 
let's try avoid classifications like the above.

A decision would indeed be nice. Given "asdot" is a fait accompli, by 
way of unmandated implementation, and there's little will to turn 
this barge back to port, why not write up and approve whatever policy 
documents are required?
