Or a slip of the keyboard / software ooops / mistake -- but, in spite
of this, I think that RPKI / ROAs / ROV is a good thing; as with
everything, this is an engineering trade off, and to me this feels
well worth it...

I do think that CloudFlare does some great things for the Internet -
they've moved DNSSEC forward immensely, significantly increased the
adoption of HTTPS/TLS, the OctoRPKI/GoRTR stuff is nice and easy,
their hosted RPKI cache, etc -- but their marketing pushes like this
feel overly aggressive.

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
