Using RPKI data to purge RIPE-NONAUTH cleans up garbage. Are you suggesting that the RIPE-NONAUTH objects are more accurate than the RPKI ROAs (which semantically have a higher precedence)? We have *NO* idea who created the objects in the RIPE-NONAUTH database, we have no idea whether this was done with the consent of the resource owner. We *DO* know that any RPKI ROAs created through the 5 RIRs are created with the fully consent of the owner, why shouldn't that take precedent? > If this proposal does not provide a mechanism to notify holders of > conflicting route/route6 objects and provide a reasonable grace period > for sorting conflicts, then the proposal is harmful and should not > proceed. I disagree - the current situation is harmful. Leaving things as-is is damaging. Kind regards, Job
