there are more sources than are to be found in the radb, many of them of
reasonable quality.

i do kinda the opposite.  each peer says what irr instance they use and
what their as-set is.

> RADB includes a large quantity of junk from third party databases and
> is also regularly targeted by hijackers in the same way that
> RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT is abused.

welcome to the internet.  work on fixing the abuse peoblem not jailing
the abused; leave that to the american courts [0].
