PRDB machine-generated route object registrations will stop at the end
of the day next Monday, May 8 (target).  From that point on there *is*
no PRDB:  users attempting to send net NACRs to the prdb will get a reply
message saying "Here is a translation of your NACR into a route object:
please mail this to auto-dbm at ra.net".  I don't think this has anything
to do with timetables about advisories.

Very nicely, indeed.
