Actually, it's probably ARIN that should be doing the asking, and seeing if they can change the wording and/or rephrase the issue to allay concerns.
It sounds to me like ARIN's *intent* was "if you get sued by your customers because you screw the pooch on deployment, it's your screw-up to clean up and not our problem". Or at least I *hope* that was the intent (see next paragraph)
That is indeed the intent - please deploy routing validation using best practices, so that you & your customers don’t suffer any adverse impact when ARIN's repository is not available.
Or, move all your number resources to a subsidiary in the AP region, pay membership fees to APNIC instead of ARIN, and use their trust anchor instead of ARIN's. BTW, since all 5 RIRs have certificates signing the whole IP address space, it really makes no difference. Rubens
