Its already mess, due to 32bit ASNs. Spammers and abusers love those.
They buy 32bit, lend some /24 space, announce, do whatever they want and
then just go away and move to new ranges.

Now imagine every person and their dog running BGP?

any idea which RIR is the most used by abusers of this type?

perhaps not using Spamhaus DROP as a metric, even though, why not? ;)
