I would sort out my own comprehensive reading issues before
complaining about others'. Lu is complaining that RIPE is rushing
the implementation of this NWI and thereby creating a problem
where one did not previously exist. Nobody disputes that the root
cause lies in Afrinic and ultimately needs to be fixed there, but
it is also true that the Internet is supposedly a cooperative
effort and that resources from different RIRs are an operational
reality (or the possibility of registering foreign resources in
RIPEDB wouldn't have existed in the fist place.)
There is nothing stupid or unreasonable about asking to delay an
action that *will* cause operational issues even if their root
cause lies elsewhere.
