But I think the problem with no filters is bigger when the RTR server is
out. It is not just the short period of time when the peer can announce
anything. If rpki autoreload is on it will cause all bad announces that was
rejected before to pass the filter now. And if we turn rpki autoreload off,
it might work like a classical filter, but than we cannot do additional
actual origin validation using rpki.
