This boils down to what I thought would have been the better
implementation all along.
Better is a relative word. It would be better to improve the operational
usability and solve the problems you have without breaking the design.
I have worked on the design, development and support of this database
for 15 years. I know it inside out. I know what problems it has. I have
seen the mistakes both new and old users have made. I have seen the
crazy things users have done because the database semantics, syntax,
business rules allowed it.
If you make the changes you are asking for I guarantee within 2 or 3
years people will be saying abuse-c is a failure, lets invent something
new to fix the mess.
The trouble with these technical mailing lists is it is the same very
very small number of people out of the 12k members and other interested
parties who keep pushing the same ideas to fix your problems regardless
of the consequences. As long as it works OK for you, everything must be
fine. None of you are willing to think out of the box. I proposed some
options for fixing these problems 2 years ago on RIPE Labs. I am not
saying they are the best solutions, but no one has even commented on
them in 2 years.
This is not an open, bottom up process. This is a cartel of old timers
who make all the decisions so they get their own way. This needs to be
fixed.
