The problem here is that all of a sudden dutch courts might have direct 
operational influence in all of the RIPE region.

So basically it might make sense to bake a safety-valve into the system so 
that it's fairly easy to replace RIPE with something else in case meddling 
starts to happen. In DNS, one can choose not to use a US based domain name 
or registrar to avoid what's going on in DNS there, what would the similar 
action be in case the dutch legal system starts doing things we don't 
agree with, without turning off RPKI totally?
