Indeed, but documenting the possible issue would not be harmful, would
it?  If for some reason a prefix was needed that is would not be
globally routable, this might then bubble straight to the top...

I think one of the laws of the internet is that any routing-related
mailing list eventually discusses the possibilities of centrally
managed blackhole lists...

Right, although with any luck, there will be several orders of
magnitude more IPv6 network operators by the time that 3FFE::/16
comes around of reuse (if it ever does), and statistics suggest
that as well as many more clueful admins, there will be many more
clueless admins.

Of course, we may well have a new addressing and routing paradigm
by that time too. :)
