If every BGP session in your network is protected by a max-prefix
limit, no matter who leaks, the damage will be limited and contained.
true, also not univeral,

the problem with max-prefix is it does not say *which* prefixes.
so even if the drop-bgp stoopidity is corrected, you could end
up holding the bogus prefixes, not the good ones.
