I just want to apologize, publically, to everyone in RIPE NCC and the
RIPE community generally, for some of the quotes attributed to me in
the Krebs online article about this story/issue.  Some of what he
quoted me as saying was, I feel, taken out of context, and I'm not
entirely happy that my comments about this situation came off as
being overly critical of RIPE NCC and/or the RIPE community.

I understand that there are difficult issues involved here, and that
while technical measures (e.g. RPKI) might help to reduce the frequency
of this sort of event, even those things are dependent upon a universal
or nearly universal community acceptance and ratification of some
hypothetical new requirement for that... an acceptance which is not
in fact universal within the RIPE community at the present time.
