sure, but even with rrdp there's just  one URI you'd follow, which
translates to some hostname + path.

why's that? it seems to work fine for many free software repositories, for
instance.
Yes, updates to that repository would have to be 'managed' but that's also
the case for rrdp, or any other 'more than one copy' solutions of publicly
available data, right?

https://github.com/google/rpki-mgmt/

does some of the lifting to sort out the 'how to get my updates to all the
copies of my repository'... it doesn't yet support RRDP, but it's not hard
to see where to stick that in the config/setup.
