Simple. I am not going to break something all the time to counter something that might break every once and a while.
When Nagios pages me that a multihomed customer is down, I will allow that address space to enter all my gateways, as a source
address.
To quote someone on this list: "It doesn't scale."
Additionally, if I'm a customer and my line goes down and it takes you 15 minutes to fix it, I'm not going to be happy about it.
Finally, you "fix" it at the *edge*, that won't break either.
