Migration to RIPE 181

Actually, this is exactly what I meant. I just get sort of confused
about "not ready". Also to be really honest I'd rather that European
nets end up in the RIPE RR and kept up to date there. Otherwise
someone is going to have a huge job when we will try and really
distribute the databases .... I have this feeling it won't be me
though ...

 *   * Sorry but the phrase "till ripe-db is ready" is *very* confusing. The
 *   * RIPE database is ready. Anyone can register routes with an advisory
 *   * attribute. It'd be simple to write a few line script that would take
 *   * the paths from the mumblemumbleDB (sorry I get confused about RRDB,
 *   * RADB, PRDB, MERITRR ...) and submit them to the RIPE database.
 *   * 
 *   *  * The drawback of this approach is that after the ripe-db is ready ther
 * e
 *   *  * is some cleanup work to be done.
 *   * 
 *   * So why not just register these routes with advisory in the RIPE DB?
