[db-wg] Route Polict Verification

Hi, thank you for responses.

I think there is a great need to highlight the information that is outdated
or errorless. You can’t say: “We’re just keeping the data, the quality of
data depends on community” because people make references not to AS holders
but to RIPE DB or RIPE Stats. And most of end-users and even network
engineers believe to this reference. As a result – stub networks becomes
transnational, filtering networks are said to be distributed. And of course
there is little opportunity to use such data for traffic flow prediction or
AS design. RIPE DB makes people mistaken and this couldn’t be solved by
updating RPSL.
