yep, you can depref stuff but it won't necessarily do what you want.  E.g.
if someone in Iran decides to announce a more-specific for some prefix in
germany:

then the roa validation process would return "invalid".  If you depref
this, the more-specific will still provide the best path, so it's pretty
useless.  The only way to handle this is to drop roa-invalid paths
completely, but it's not going to be possible to implement that as a
general routing policy until the rpki data is pretty good quality overall.
