ROV belongs on the input path, let's not ROV on the output towards
customers / route collectors.

Announcing bigger, ROV valid/unkown aggregates, while really routing
based on possibly ROV-invalid more specifics in the FIB is akin to
actively obscuring routing security, "cheating" your way to a RAS.


Yes, there are some very specific situations where output ROV is
beneficial (a peering box not supporting ROV and you ask your peer to
ROV their output), but let's not normalize ROV on the output path.



Thanks,
