One problem is that bad actors often have dozens of
/29s and /28s at many different hosting providers, many of them
not as on the ball as servervault.

Being able to identify all those as "the same entity" leads to
entirely different approachs to mitigation than simply blaming each
provider for the malign traffic. Ones that the providers are likely to
prefer.
