But keep in mind that the RIPE Database was designed to be, and still largely is, human readable. So for the poor humans who delve into the database manually it's probably better not to confuse them with extra, new tags on 95% of the data that has the same meaning as before, and just tag that little 5% (or so) that can now be interpreted differently.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670876"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670731"><span>cheers</span></div><div id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670890"><span>denis</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_678924"><span>co-chair DB WG</span></div><div class="yiv4873415421qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670732"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv4873415421yqt5595536968" id="yiv4873415421yqt38330"><div class="yiv4873415421yahoo_quoted" id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670736" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670735" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670734" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670733"> <font id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670892" face="Arial" size="2"> </font><hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Randy Bush via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net><br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">To:</span></b> job@instituut.net <br clear="none"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cc:</span></b> Nick Hilliard via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net><br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, 17 October 2017, 19:34<br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [db-wg] Foreign ROUTE objects in RIPE Database - final decision?<br clear="none"> </div> <div class="yiv4873415421y_msg_container" id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670743"><br clear="none"><div dir="ltr" id="yiv4873415421yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507715420084_670742">>>> 2) Flag "route:" objects for non-RIPE-managed space with "source:<br clear="none">>>> RIPE-NONAUTH" to identify non-authoritative data.<br clear="none">>> <br clear="none">>> why not go the other, more positive, direction, and identify authorised<br clear="none">>> data with RIPE-AUTH or whatever? no need to be pejorative.<br clear="none">> <br clear="none">> This is not meant to be pejorative.
