The system is *not* unified. Each RIR has it's own policies, own rules, own implementation of the database... > As Job suggested, let’s wait RIPE their plan and future discuss the > timeline—If Afrinic haven’t fix things by then. I don't support this. With this approach we can also wait forever. If some delay will be introduced, there must be exact timeline for that. And probably we don't know, *when* AfriNIC fix it's database. As it was mentioned already, discussion already took place. It's AfriNIC problem now. We cannot solve problems of other RIRs in local (RIPE) database - just because there's lack of support elsewhere. That's (among others) also security problem. From long term perspective - legacy/foreign data from past needs to be removed, it's a garbage here (in RIPEdb). World around us changes and there're so many people misusing old features for nasty things novadays. - Daniel
