[rpd] [Last Call] Draft Policy Proposal - Hierarchical Names for New AS-SETs (AFPUB-2026-ASN-001-DRAFT02)

[Bubacarr Sowe]

Dear PDWG,

I support the adoption of this draft.

Hierarchical AS-SETs  solve a problem. We need this and such a draft 
should be adopted without difficulty. I don't see any benefit in not 
adapting it.

Lets not resist for the sake of resisting but understand why 
hierarchical AS-SETs are important. MANRS site has more on this here: 
https://manrs.org/2022/12/why-network-operators-should-use-hierarchical-as-sets/. 


Please don't load this list with AI puke, its annoying, stupid and the 
repetitiveness is an eye sore. You may enjoy your AI output  but that 
may not be the case for most of us, that is for your Facebook post.

Mailing lists like this solves real problems and people make decision 
base on the discussions but if we fill this list with some garbage from 
ChatGTP or whatever, we will kill the spirit of the discussion, the 
human engagement and the results that define our community and the 
internet.

Thanks,

BS
