If the ISP dies hard enough so that their prefix will disappear, they won't be visible to people that filter on /32 boundaries and have no fallback default route to one of their upstreams.
But so what. If one of their upstream ISPs messes up seriously enough, they can always hurt their downstream customers' routing (by announcing the prefix and then blackholing internally, for example).
(short, that's not how stuff works) Again, I thought the point was making commercial IPv6 multihoming work. This is all fine and dandy on 6bone but my clients will not pay me for a backup link that won't work when the primary provider goes down. No pay, no multihoming. No multihoming no commercial offering. No commercial offering, no happy fun end-to-end IPv6. Game set and match. (and yes, this is even more true for hosting than home users)
Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 54837 (54495)
