Given the overwhelming success of RFC 1918 it only requires a very small
percentage of sites leaking routes to make it seem like a big problem.
This is normal. When you scale up anything, small nits happen frequently
enough to become significant issues. But that is not a reason to get rid
of RFC 1918.

The fact that the filtering recommendations of ULA-C and ULA-G have the
same flaws as RFC 1918 is a not sufficient reason to reject them
wholesale.

I think that even today, if you analyze Internet traffic on a global
scale, you will see that there is a considerable percentage of it which
"bypasses" the core. Let the core use filters to protect the DFZ because
the DFZ is no longer necessary for a workable Internet.
