+**Update 2024-04-29**

+- I can actually "safely" discard everything with an AS path length >15.
+ I took a look at the routes, and there are (only/mostly?) routes with
+ *lots of* path prepending in that size range. Maybe I could go
+ *even lower*, but I got tired of making the birdc filter
+ (`show route where bgp_path !~ [...]`) longer and longer, and then scrolling
+ through the route output.
+- Another "oops!". I thought giving my hosting provider a higher BGP local preference
+ was a good idea, as all the other transit providers are connected via GRE tunnel.
+ Only I wondered why *on my other VPS* suddenly a huge amount of routes preferred
+ to go via IBGP. I facepalmed when I realized what I did. (BGP local pref attribute
+ is sent via IBGP sessions).
