[rpd] Last Call - RPKI ROAs for Unallocated and Unassigned AFRINIC Address Space AFPUB-2019-GEN-006-DRAFT03.

Hi,

So ... bluntly:  Why are you so adamant that you want unallocated space
to be routed/advertisable?

In other words,what's the issue with unallocated space being listed in AS0?

Even if AS0 was enforced and everyone HAD to use it ... I fail to see
why you would not want to use it.

Kind Regards,
Jaco
