I am not proposing it for the core, and do not have plans of proposing it in the future. However if someone else wants to propose it, I would definitely be in favor of it.  The main reason for the proposal with respect to my extension switch is to standardize it with all of the other internet exchanges that I offer, and I wanted to make sure that MICE would not have an issue with my extension being more restrictive then the core is (and therefore not matching the MICE standards).  It also is partially because it makes me sleep better at night knowing that my extension switch is a little less likely to participate in accidentally dumping a bunch of garbage traffic onto the exchange causing problems for everyone else.  To me that is much more important than the little additional effort that is required when someone swaps a router out.

That seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Is this a trial run for eventually proposing the same change MICE-wide?
I don't have strong feelings, but that seems fine too.
