I didn't say that.

I actually agree with the premise here, that there are scale and freshness
and distribution issues in the current model that need to be worked out.

This is not "axe grinding".  These designs are likely to considerably
influence how networks and routing architectures and support systems are
designed and operated - in the real world, not in a lab or 'pilot'.  I'd
like to get this right as much as you would (moreso, because my $dayjob
relies on it), and that should encourage us to fully understand the
long-term desirable objectives before stepping on the accelerator for full
standardization.  Whatever we design today should at least be able to
accommodate full deployment in the current system (even when focusing on
*routed* resource certification), which given the data you've presented at
the past coupled meetings it's already strained and there appears to be a
disconnect between those designing the RPKI and the initial folks captive
to operationalizing it (e.g., the RIRs).

Out of curiosity, what were the initial design / scale goals of the RPKI
team for aggregate object count, frequency of publication and access by
RPs?
