Call me old-fashioned and IPv4-minded, but I *like* having well-defined
transit networks at IXPs. With addresses I can ping from my desktop to
see whether something is broken, for example, or verify with a quick
traceroute to see which of multiple paths between us and a remote network
a packet is taking (consider one router being connected to two exchange
points - maybe not a typical case, but we have that, and we see some
peers on both IXPs).
I consider LLAs as useful for protocols with automatic neighbour discovery
(OSPFv3 and such), but for BGP, and network monitoring it's more hindrance
than benefit.
