Re: Do Not Complicate Routing Security with Voodoo Economics

One could argue that rejecting routes which you previously had no way to
know you should reject will inherently alter the routing system and that this
is probably a good thing.

Good point.  Also, "tie breaking" in favor of signed-and-verified routes over not-signed-and-verified routes does not 
necessarily affect your traffic "positively or negatively" -- rather, if you are letting an arbitrary final tie break 
make the decision anyway, you are arguably *neutral* about the outcome...
