I am afraid I don't believe this policy should be adopted at this time.
I agree that it should at least re-visited as some of the wider implications might have been missed in the process as the focus has been with the technical solution to the 'problem' rather than potential for 'outside influence'. I'm also worried that the discussion seem to have moved to an automated router based implementation rather than an abstracted policy implementation that an operator can make an informed decision on with the ability to override it (in the same way that someone would build per peer filters today). I always understood (possibly wrongly) that this was about improving the quality of the RIPE (and other IRR) dbs rather than automating a DoS/LEA toy that *will* cause problems in the same way fat fingering today causes these issues.
