Private shame on Cisco to do something better than a half-baked implementation 
that breaks things ?
If ARIN wants RPKI deployed, ARIN needs to understand that RPKI does not have 
much of a business case that executives can see, and that if it breaks even 
slightly security it's going to end nowhere.

What do you say to orgs who give a lot of money to SpamHaus and other pricey 
feeds and suddenly see them ineffective because of a cheezy RPKI 
implementation? They won't touch it again for years and tell everyone to stay 
away from it.

Hi Michel,

Unless ARIN did something or failed to do something which contributed to the 
problem you described, it's not obvious that such information is useful here. 
Can you articulate something ARIN could do which would improve the basic fact 
that configuring and maintaining cryptographic validation systems is 
technically challenging?

There are certainly things ARIN could do to improve RPKI uptake, but I'm not 
aware of any that are responsive to the specific concern you raised.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
