I specifically said 'RIR Boundary' filters.

AS someone noted earlier in the thread, RIRs have published
information as to which blocks are what. They allocate the /48s from
separate blocks compared to the /32s.

RIRs also allocate critical infrastructure /48s to root servers,
ccTLDs etc. but these are from a separate block.

And there are those that go with a default /32 filters. I do feel
sorry for them, as they limit their v6 reach-ability to pretty much
all the root servers.
