Hi Pascal I don't consider it much harm aslong as icmp type 0,3,4,8,11,12 get through... but you still have the dilemma "should they filter" - I would vote "no", though I see the possibilities and the strength in doing filtering in the core - it's just the lack of trust in the folks that would do the filtering... or say: those who say what should be filtered.
