That is also because the ISPs realize that the current ~400 routes are 
far from a problem. Actually the 130k routes in IPv4 is not creating a 
problem either. Other characteristics of BGP might, but I haven't seen 
a reference to the number of routes creating a problem. Yes, they will 
cost the ISPs money, but that is why they are accepting your money.

Filtering routes have it's advantages, especially in IPv4. With 400 
routes, I still fail to see the problem. On the contrary, it tells me 
we have plenty of time to solve the real problem.
