(sorry for what might feel a thread hijack, but I feel is relevant and
in-context)

Do you therefore feel that APNIC's discrete AS0 TAL is not a good
long-term model? We deliberately went opt-in, and said so.

We proposed this during initial deployment to ensure we had a
make-before-break outcome for relying parties, but it does reduce
uptake (during the test period at best <100 people have participated)

If we include the AS0 under the mainline TAL, then this is 'opt out'
behaviour for RP's (they would have to do conscious work e.g. locally
managed SLURM) to re-validate prefixes, rather than opt-in.

The testbed is heading to service mid-year. I believe we will
therefore be seeing this discussed more formally in the APNIC Lists,
but I am interested what people in the wider community say: it helps
inform things.

cheers
