Good point. Jim said the same, so we probably should cut or split the document. I think this is something that must be speak in the wg on Thursday. BTW, mi personal opinion is that "source routing" doesnt fit in the "simple" category. I know a lot more people that feel comfortable with DNS but doesnt know source routing (but this is my personal opinion). > Changes should be kept to a minimum, yes.

Simple sets of changes should be no problem, > even if they need to be done more than once. Not necesarily screw up, but sometimes delay. The spanish NIC used to have a waiting queue of one week. 1 change= 1 week delay, 2 changes=2 weeks delay. (I think they have improve now, but I can guarantee the same for all the NIC under the RIPE umbrella).
