There are more subnets who are announcing themselfs over Internet with BGP and who are still in the encap.txt

But but... I think they absolutely must stay in encap.txt even if a BGP announcement is place!

If they're removed, most of other traditional amprnet sites, which are not announcing their own network using BGP, cannot send packets to the BGP sites due to source address filtering (spoof protection). Most gateways these days must send out all 44-to-44 traffic encapsulated because they're only allowed to transmit out packets with their gateway's public address as the source address of the outer IP packet.
