Not allowing "foreign" resources in the ripedb denies the reality that there will always be RIPE-allocated prefixes originated from non-RIPE-assigned ASNs and vice versa.

Not true - you can easily run a whois query on whois.radb.net specifying multiple sources, including RIPE: % bgpq3 -S RIPE,APNIC,LACNIC AS-FOO In fact, there is no way of writing a functioning irrdb querier which can't handle specifying arbitrary irrdb source: options on a per-ASN basis. Nick
