The system is *not* unified. Each RIR has it's own policies, own rules, own implementation of the database...
As Job suggested, let’s wait RIPE their plan and future discuss the timeline—If Afrinic haven’t fix things by then.
I don't support this. With this approach we can also wait forever. If some delay will be introduced, there must be exact timeline for that. And probably we don't know, *when* AfriNIC fix it's database. As it was mentioned already, discussion already took place. It's AfriNIC problem now. We cannot solve problems of other RIRs in local (RIPE) database - just because there's lack of support elsewhere. That's (among others) also security problem. From long term perspective - legacy/foreign data from past needs to be removed, it's a garbage here (in RIPEdb). World around us changes and there're so many people misusing old features for nasty things novadays. - Daniel
