To address the topic Tim B. raised wrt the IRR system, and n light of
the comments
provided by the cognizant routing AD, I propose adding the following
text as a
second paragraph in the Security Considerations section.
Unless I hear suggestions otherwise, I'll add this text before we submit
this as
we post the I-D as a WG document.

The analysis in this document identifies a number of circumstances in
which attacks or errors can have significant impacts on routing. One
ought not interpret this as a condemnation of the RPKI. It is only an
attempt to document the implications of a wide range of attacks and
errors, in the context of the RPKI. The primary alternative mechanism
for disseminating routing information is Internet Routing Registry (IRR)
technology [RFC2650, RFC2725], which uses the Routing Policy
Specification Language (RPSL) [RFC2622]. The IRR technology exhibits its
own set of security problems, which are discussed in [RFC7682].
