Hi all

If people want to add geofeed for smaller sizes this runs the risk of
maintaining a dual system, "geofeed:" and "remarks: geofeed". We could
end up with "remarks:" values being parsed as they used to be for
abuse contacts before we added "abuse-c:".

My understanding was that a "geofeed:" could be added to a smaller
prefix and in the referenced url add data for any prefix you wish,
including a /48.

Just for reference, for those of you who use the "geofeed:" attribute,
how many want to add data for a /48? Is this a wide scale issue or a
corner case?

cheers
