Do we need a new machinery for this? If a role or person object acquires a new inverse-key relationship, I would find it reasonable to alert the 'mnt-by:' and 'notify:' targets as a matter of course. I don't see the value in defining new attributes just to cover this.
Hmm, I'd prefer the protection from that to happen instead of: Bad Guy does something -> You hear from it -> You have to persuade the RIPE-NCC to do something against it (Because you can't do it yourself, since you do _not_ maintain the object where the reference is in).
Right. I should have thought of that. For " ... alert the 'mnt-by:' and 'notify:' targets ... " read " ... alert 'mnt-by:' and 'notify:' targets, and block the update pending their confirmation ... ". MfG Niall
