Upstreams that accept unfiltered BGP announcements from their downstreams
still exist, and are a huge problem - but *this* is something we cannot
solve by changes to the RIPE DB.

But since the original thread was also about "people putting bogus
route: objects for APNIC space into the RIPE DB", Denis' statement 
explains why the creation of bogus route: objects cannot be done for
RIPE address space.
