[routing-wg] Network failed [was re: Notification of RIPE Database changes]

as usual, i could be wrong, but ...

i suspect that the reason euro ops think that 'foreign' objects are
needed in the irr part of the ncc database is because foreign resources
and foreign aut-num:s are used at euro ixen where there is a strong
policy to be registered in the irr.  combine this with the "if it is not
done by our paternalistic ncc then we don't use it" culture, i.e. do not
use radb etc., we're stuck with having the foreign stuff in the irr part
of the ncc database.

that the trustworthiness of these foreign data is no greater than if it
was taken from its home irr, radb or whatever, should not surprise us.

it is a global internet.  when we 'regionalize' trust, the consequences
become strange, though sometimes subtle.  but then you know this quite
well, being the rir with half a dozen rpki trust anchors. </sarcasm>
