[arin-discuss] For legacy holders concerned about the RSA requirement for new ARIN IRR and RPKI

[Kenneth Finnegan]

We've been trying to figure out how to migrate ALTDB from irrd 2 to irrd v4
for some time now, but the fact that IRRD4 is so opinionated that there's
no overlap between available authentication methods means that it's going
to be a painful flag day for us to make the migration and cut off access
for all the users pending an authentication reset, and we haven't figured
out all the contingencies for that migration plan yet.

ALTDB currently only supports EMAIL-FROM and CRYPT, so GPG is not available.
