In my opinion as the developer of the SeattleIX/SIX's strict route server filtering technology... RPKI is secure and thus preferred over OriginAS whois. The OriginAS data we use is synthesized from the whois data by a third party and thus is subject to tampering. Even if we queried directly from ARIN, there is a risk of man-in-the-middle attacks. At the SIX, we prioritize RPKI information over IRR and ARIN OriginAS data. Details of this are at: https://www.seattleix.net/rs-drops The retirement of OriginAS as a trusted source of data should happen since RPKI is a superior cryptographically secure replacement. That said, for legacy space not covered by an LRSA, it would be good to have a cryptographically secure source of truth via the ARIN RPKI hierarchy.
