All.the.time

I¹d venture to say that proxy registration is the source of most of the
cruft.

That said, managing IRR stuff should be at least as easy for ARIN to walk
address-holders through on their portal as RPKI stuff including some
alerting that the routing table has gone out of apparent alignment with
the IRR.
