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.
