Unfortunately, RIPE DB will allow anyone to add any route objects for
prefixes that are not under the RIPE management :-(. For example,
anyone could add route objects for most of DNS root server prefixes.
For those prefixes that are managed by RIPE, it's good. But the above
feature dilutes the trustworthiness of RIPE DB slightly...
