If protecting the core includes protecting the core from further at the edges, then the folks running core components need to require those who connect to them to implement such protection (ingress filtering and whatever other measures are deemed helpful).
There's some precedent for this type of edict. Some years ago UUNet mandated anyone using their dialups MUST implement port 25 filter configs in their Radius servers.
Sure seems like a better thing for the core operators to do than throw their hands in the air and say "it's someone else's problem."
