Hi Geert,
Thanks for your email, brother!

Really sad story, brother :'-(
...hope they will revert back after.

Good decision! yes, end-users desserve good
quality of service...even though, they are free to
operate their network as they see fit :'-(

...better later, than never.

...not sure, there is anyone, or if the system needs
to have such a protocol :-/ but you can just add a
tag to your RIPE Atlas probe: #isDown



> And what is the protocol for signalling "this probe is now on a different

...this too, seems to be automatic task, as the
system used to automatically detect the ASN of the
 AS into which the probe is attached. But, please,
don't take my comment for grant...i'm, too, awaiting
for a proper responses from the RIPE Atlas team ;-)

...sure, more than one, brother :-)

Hope this helps!

Good wishes, in JESUS, this last day of 2021!

Shalom,
