Right, but I think the bigger issue is not just that "data is in the
IRR" but rather "the data is there, and "some organization" has
validated that 1) the "owner" is authentic, 2) they own the prefixes
they entered, 3) they are authorized to originate the prefixes, and 4)
the policies they entered are valid and agreed to by the other parties."
We have to be able to *trust* the data in the IRR, which I assume is
one of the biggest impediments to being used by everyone: who's going
to validate all that data and how will they do it?
