The RIPE NCC is aware that 128.0.0.0/16 is configured as a martian by
default in (some) Juniper OS, even though RFC 5735 and RFC3330 outline
that this /16 should no longer be reserved as specialised address
space.

Would someone please clarify the impact?  Will it result in a blackhole,
or will the entire announcement be suppressed?  I suspect the latter,
given what we see and what Chris Adams has reported.
