You don't have to keep a full-time engineer just to handle

RIPE database does not control the actual routing.

I'm not sure the current RADB project has any mention

With dozens of updates we do every day it nearly as good
as useless.

You call *that* secure?  We have way too many people who

If i can't implement my existing policy, i cannot use RADB, ok?

(Well, we _will_ use it -- to talk to people whose announcements
are loaded with garbadge).  We simply cannot use it to talk
to major service providers because policies in place cannot
be represented in RIPE-81.
