nope.  consider that someone could put up a highly reliable publication
service and i might want to use it.  the protocols were designed
specifically to accommodate a variety of publishers.

RPKI != IRR

if i run a CA, i can choose where i publish.  my memory is that i can
not choose to publish some produced objects in one PP and others in
another PP.  but my memory is not what it used to be.

> It isn’t called .. Publish in Parent for no reason

correct.  it is to differentiate a particular instance of publish
arbitrarily, which is what the protocols provide.
