Which is nice. I just duplicated an ARIN entry in raddb using my
maintainer with all other information the same. Since Level 3 pulls
based on my as-set + my maintainer list, my entry automatically updates
their acl list. Does this mean I can't lie? No. However, IRR's aren't
designed to top lying. they are designed to help in management and
tracking issues.
