FW: more specific routes in today reality

The role of the RIPE NCC in this matter is to simply point out the
different options, so that network operators can take them into
account when requesting address space. It is the ISPs that decide what
gets routed. The RIPE NCC has no influence on this. We will continue
to assign PI address space unless the RIPE community revises this
policy.

However, if there are clear recommendations from the community, the
RIPE NCC will certainly make these recommendations known to its
members.

Kind regards,
Sabrina Waschke

 * Has this been a mistake, or is this the default answer to PI requests
 * sent to the NCC nowadays? Is the NCC seriously going to recommend this 
 * to the members? 
 * I don't recommend the use of PI to customers either, and I don't want

 * independent and PA should remain provider-aggregatable.
