I completely agree, the comparison with IRR is wrong and makes no
sense at all. We are talking about RPKI, not IRR2. The objections
raised are relevant if we would spin up a new IRR database, but that
is not what we are doing here.

If we overly restrict RIPE services, then new external services need
to cover for this, just like RADB and friends are covering for the
lack of ARIN features today (or in the past) in the IRR world.

A lot of people spinning up their own http/rsync infrastructure is a
nightmare. Just think of all the connections and reliability issues of
 CAs in validator outputs we have today. And I don't think the number
of organizations operating across multiple RIR regions (or more
specifically: working with resources from multiple RIR regions) is
that low.
