[routing-wg] Re: ASPA AS0 Records for unallocated ASNs

Now what about this as a follow-up brain fart; why doesn’t the RIPE NCC just announce their unallocated space? No adding or removing of ROAs, just announce it without a ROA? It will become ROA “unknown” so it will be accepted, and that will disincentivise the squatters from using the space because it’s no longer effective. If someone buys this space from RIPE, RIPE stop announcing it and the new owner can announce it and create a ROA and go on with their day.

(almost) Everyone's capacity for FIB entries is not unlimited, and unless you are suggesting RIPE de-aggregates to announcing every possible /24 of space (this would be somewhere between mildly and totally insane), a squatter can just announce a more specific to get around it
