Yepâ?¦ And the easy recipe for one which doesnâ??t care about RPKI to restore reachability is â??delete the ROAsâ??.

I have no impression that it was.
I thought it was about â??Should we consume more RIR resources dealing with this additional pain likely to be caused by RPKI?â??

I agree with Mr. Morrow that this would end in pain.

Agreed. However, whether I liked RPKI or not, Iâ??d still say that notification by the RIRs is prone
to sadness. My initial intent was merely to state that I prefer the RIRs not waste additional
resources on this, including notification.
