This problem lasted more than 70 minutes!<br>
<br>
The point I am trying to make: once an RIR automatically creates AS0<br>
ROAs for unallocated/unassigned space, any database incidents where the<br>
registration status of a resource accidentally (and temporarily) lapses,<br>
can result in blocklisting via AS0.<br>
<br>
The risk of things going wrong at a future point in time versus the<br>
perceived benefits of such ROAs don't align well.<br>
<br>
The best measure to put in place to curb incidents is to not implement<br>
this type of policy.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>
