No, the best option for me right now is that I just don't participate
in RPKI and the system has one less participant. And that's a shame.

That's only true in the current environment where RPKI is only used to
invalidate bogus routes. When any reachability for RPKI-unknowns is
lost, that will change.

Hi Rubens,

If you want to bet me on folks ever deciding to discard RPKI-unknowns
down in the legacy class C's I'll be happy to take your money.

I don't think people will look at even the class, and definitively not
to legacy or non-legacy partitions.
They will either drop it all, or not drop it at all.

Note that when the only IP blocks that spammers and abusers can inject
in the system are non-signed ones, those blocks will get bad
reputations pretty fast. So the legacy holders use case for RPKI might
come sooner than you think.

Nah… Because the reputations will still be the individual /24s and while
lots of /24s around mine have bad reputations, mine doesn’t and never has
(modulo a couple of administrative errors that were on me and legitimately
my fault, not actual spammers).


Anyway, the risk/reward calculation for NOT signing the LRSA right now
is really a no-brainer. It's just unfortunate that means I won't get
an early start on RPKI.

Discarding RPKI-invalids is something you can do right now and that
doesn't come with a price tag. Good BCP38 and RPKI-invalid hygiene is
the thankless gift you can give to the community.

Yes, but I think that RPKI unknowns are never going to be something that
can be safely dropped and 90% of RPKI invalids so far seem to be people
making RPKI mistakes with their legitimate announcements.

The more I look at RPKI, the more it looks like a lot of effort with very little
benefit to the community.

YMMV
