Hello All,

  Does someone from Ripe know the story on the "withdrawn"
attribute for route objects?  The value in the v2 ripe
shows date plus email address whereas v1 had date only.

1. What is the rationale for the change?

Thanks,

It would be interesting to know why RIPE changed it from someone at
RIPE who knows, assuming someone does :-)
