In a topology "Upstream1<->customer<->Upstream2" the filtering, aka 
the "turning on of the new feature" needs to happen at both upstreams -
both need to send the new attribute downstream, and filter prefixes 
coming in from their customer with the new attribute.

If either upstream doesn't turn this on on their session to "cutomer", 
the mechanism will not work (and you can't make it default, as it
would break upstream/peering sessions).

Please explain to me how this is going to work if "lazy upstream ISP" 
keeps being lazy, and does nothing.
