Overloading the community path has been a fuzzy attack vector that has crashed 
BGP devices in the past. I would be surprised if the vendors kept this in their 
regression testing. I think allowing long AS communities with zero control is 
some that needs to be looked at from all the angles.

Filtering in both direction is the Murphy filter (Myrphy's law). Many operators 
have been caught thinking that "I'm never going to leak" only to have a 
surprise in the middle of the night. That is why in my "BCP materials" I've 
always taught to put the BGP policy filters in both directions.

We have two views on this. Strict and Loose. Loose = the  /24(ipv4) and 
/48(ipv6). Strict = using the RIR minimal allocation as the limit. Both work.
