Describing the RPKI as a 'total mess' certainly is one way of looking at it, another perspective is that the RPKI is a multi-decade cumulative project to which hundreds of people contributed significant portions of their life for the betterment of Internet routing (including many ARIN staff!). RPKI-ROV has prevented countless misconfigurations and hijacks. A recent and welcome trend in the development of RPKI RFCs is that newer RFCs tend to be more thoroughly specified, are based on actual properly tested running code, informed by scientific peer-reviewed research, and oftentimes are simplifications or clarifications of earlier RPKI RFCs. For comparison: check out the state of DNS ;-) https://powerdns.org/dns-camel/ I sent this message with a smile and a wink, I won't deny the RPKI indeed is a complicated technology with many moving parts. Many people are working hard to keep the complexity managable.
