full support.

Just as an observation, imho we are suffering from a mixup of terminology
and a lack of experience with all the "funny" details of establishing a
(sort of) hierarchical CA and RA environment.

The RPKI is meant to create, distribute and manage certificates for the
routing plane, not as a digital signature of ownership, true?

The authoritative source of information about holdership is the up-to-date
Numbers Registry.
