FW: [db-wg] Proposal to deprecate CRYPT-PW authorisation in the RIPE Database

Hi,
-Hank
>I think a number of people have pointed out why they wish to deprecate 
crypt-pw.
No, I'm not convinced. And a number of people - only Gert Doering? The
point of view they propagate - it should increase security (in reality -
not). But, we all know: false sense of security is worse than knowledge
of a problem.

-Hank
>To answer your latest points - data in the DB should be accurate 
and it does show who is allowed or not allowed to use a range of IPs,
and 
if the data does 'disappear' as you say, it will have operational impact
on 
a number of ISPs that build their access lists from the data in the
RIPE-DB.

"Should be" != "is"
And to now this inaccuracy has NO operational impact on nobody.

-Hank
>It would appear that you might be enjoying the ability to abuse certain

RIPE objects with weak security and by deprecating crypt-pw we will be 
impacting your playground.

Hank, I think it is very cheap accusation at first hand; you are not
eligible to accuse me of something - the second; it (abusing) hasn't
happened before to speak about it - the third. Speaking your way I can
think that RIPE doesn't know where to put money and want us to allow
spend them on the projects not well-thinked and useles.
Please be more constructive! Let's not allow to go to personal
accusation.
