I think you are assuming too much at this point. [About contractually
having to play with the RA.] You should address that question to Sprint,
rather than the mailing list. I believe SprintLink has voiced their willingness
to work with any tool that will help the Internet scale better, so long as it
does not have adverse effects on their network.
The last time I checked, the _biggest_ argument against using the RA was that
alot of the data is incorrect. I have also heard a lot about work that has
been done to clean up the RA. Is this still the biggest factor?

On the contrary; I believe Peter Lothberg's proposals
for an RS scheme are quite reasonable.
I think his criticisms of the current RADB and RS models
are pretty well known, and valid.
I would point out one more thing though, and that's that
at the Stockholm IETF I had a genial chat with a number
of folks from MERIT and the RA Team in general,
and suggested several ways that the RADB could
be made incrementally useful. I hope that some good
comes out of that conversation.
I'll use any tool that will make my job easier, and
help our operation and the Internet scale better.
At the moment, though, the RADB does the opposite,
and the RS has no value whatsoever.
