Right.  BGPSEC doesn't support partially signed PATHS.  Thus a update
either starts off signed, or it is not signed at all.

You can take a signed path, strip the PATH-SIG, reconstruct the AS-PATH
and transmit it to a non-BGPSEC speaker.  But from that point on, the PATH
remains unsigned.

A path that starts off unsigned, will always remain unsigned.
