yes, correct. People are stuck using the tools that they have. Most 
off-the-shelf tools don't implement server-client or 2way database 
synchronisation between the local ipam system and the ripe db, and 
there's ~zero financial inventive to build this sort of functionality 
in-house. The outcome is that the ripedb ends up with manual updates, or 
else with low quality / 1-way synchronisation with little or no cleanup.

The result of this is that the ASSIGNED-PA objects in the ripedb are 
generally of low average accuracy.
