Beyond that, black-holing address space at the BGP level is a slippery slope prone to political (and other) exploitation.
If you filtered what blackhole routes were allowed to be advertised, the same way one filters normal advertisments, there shouldn't be any risk of people using this concept maliciously by null'ing someone elses traffic. Most of the BGP peering sessions I operate utilise prefix lists at least, and often AS-path filtering also.
