RE: Yahoo outage summary

If we had routing registries that were accurate and authoritative, then
soBGP/S-BGP would have something to verify a route change against.  It
should not matter if last Friday's event was a leak or a false announcement
- with some sort of verification system we could mitigate errors,
intentional or accidental.

This seems to have been a route leak from AS9318, not a false origin
announcement, so not sure if soBGP or s-BGP would help here.
