current filtering too hostile for new prefixes?

Hi:
While you're updating filter lists, add the new 6tap pTLA of
3ffe:3900/24.
I think we need to filter on specific prefix, the problem is that
there is not enough usage/user-complaints to put the appropriate
mechanisms in place to make sure the filter lists are up-to-date
(like we all make damn sure work for ipv4).
One way to stay ahead of the ptla assignment game, is to add a few
subsequent number assignments in advance; doesn't hurt anything to
do that.
