Introducing '::' however might/will break tools following RFC2280/RFC2622 being read as (and mostly implemented/enforced like this) "a single colon between set names and AS numbers" (hmmm, it states 'separated by colons ":"', but examples kind of imply the "single between").
The nice thing is moving to the ASN removes the possibility of being unique, I recently moved from AS-NETHER to AS267 to reduce the chance of conflict. We should also likely move from AS-AKAMAI to AS20940:GLOBAL or something else.
I'm lost. AS20940:GLOBAL wouldn't be a valid AS-SET name. AS20940:AS-GLOBAL?
Well, with the requirement of the AS-SET names like ASx:AS-SET requiring mnt-by of ASx, less likely "by accident" dups showing up.
Well, actually, you're never safe from shooting yourself in the foot.
But it doesn't protect *evil* person adding ASx to an "open" RR and adding a bad ASx:AS-SET there.
Isn't there only a limited number of "trusted" IRRs? Hence, moving to ASx:AS-SET would be a huge step forward. Arnold
