Seconded. We also do that, and we try to always push all the prefixes that fall
under that ROA's claim, so we know they're in the DFZ in full glory. Which also
means we try to not publish too broad a ROA (can't be avoided sometimes).

I am, alas, surprised that ROAs work so well. If I - speaking theoretically! -
were to hijack a network, and I was happy to only get *part* of the traffic,
I'd know what to do.

I would need a transit ISP that does no BCP38 though, and I REALLY hope those
get fewer and fewer, but currently these ISPs exist, and *that* is the problem.

The real remedy, of course, is MANRS.

Promote.
