In the case of an IXP, the router configs in question are of third parties
engaging in peering over the purported IXP. If ARIN wants to require IXP
participant attestation that an IXP is real and really using the IP space
in question in order to allow routing of the IP space, they certainly
could. If they don't want to have to do that, and don't have a problem with
the current routing limitation, I'm fine with that as well.
