This is not positive thinking. I don't consider this a hack (if it is,
then the draft that proposes to re-use ORF mechanisms is even worse).
I'm not interested in what things were designed to do, I'm interested in
what things _can_ do.
I use [Cymru] myself as I am within the applicability domain. I use your
stuff too. However, you might be borderline to abusing co-author
privileges here; Team Cymru has lead the route-server project for long,
and although the bogon list is by nature a lot less controversial than
what you do the bottom line is the acceptance of Cymru's feed is far
greater than Completewhois.
Please don't use draft-py-idr-redisfilter-01.txt as a platform to
compete with other co-authors; collaborative competition is sound,
please stay within its borders.
Thanks
Michel.
