How did you come to this conclusion? irrtoolset is non rfc compliant, not the other way around. At a practical level, it's relatively easy to add a new token into the rpsl parser to shut irrtoolset up, even if it's a mess to add proper support for large communities to the code so that they actually do what you'd expect of them. > Another approach would be to introduce yet another 'import/export'-style > attribute, so that we'd have 'import:', 'export:', 'mp-import:', > 'mp-export:', 'import-via:', 'export-via:', and now also: > 'import-via-large:', 'export-via-large:'. Though this doesn't strike me > as a healthy direction for growth and extendability. No need for export-via-large. "export-via" was required because it changed the semantics of the export stanza.
