Cool.  That we can do but, in the process, we need to document what router
platform/code version the people sending the ghost routes are
running.  This is a very important operational issue, more important that
actually getting the original announcements to stop.

If you are an operator who peers with someone that is found to be
ORIGINATING the ghost routes, please, find out what code they're running
and let the list know.  This "bug" has bitten us too many times already
and needs to be squashed.

If we compile a list of "bad code", folks will know to avoid using that
code and/or peering with folks using that code.

The root problem will never get fixed until we take measures to document
it.
