I am curious as to what happens if MomAndPopISP's address space has a
ROA in region B
created by a higher-tier ISP, say BigISP, in region B.
Let us say BigISP is an ISP one level higher in the hierarchy above
MomAndPopISP.
As a result, it appears that EngulfAndDevour in Region A would also need
cooperation of BigISP in Region B to first revoke the existing ROA before
it can create a new ROA for MomAndPopISP in its own region (Region A)?
What incentive will BigISP have to cooperate and help EngulfAndDevour
without causing delays?

the buyer and seller prefer doing business in their 'home' regions.
figuring out one rir's bureacrazy is hard enough, and does not
contribute to the bottom line.
