We don't see a need for NTT to attempt to make such peering lan networks
reachable for third parties. Such reachability may negatively impact
operations, especially when more-specifics of Peering LAN prefixes are
distributed through the default-free zone.

As a consequence, for IXPs this policy suggests that it is a necessity to host
their own infrastructure (IXP website, mail server, etc) outside the peering
lan prefix.

Reading this thread makes me wonder if the reasoning mentioned thus far should in fact be extrapolated to any 
Providers' infrastructure prefixes (essentially the plumbing prefixes).
Wondering what is the community's stance on this.
