[PDB-gov] Voting eligibility

[bill manning]

Ok, so this is enlightening.  What is the point of placing non-peering data
into a peeringDataBase?  Is this because peering involves more than just an
abstract layer3 (BGP) policy constraint?  Peering, as used historically as
"meet-me" space to cross connect and the policy is the cross-connect
contract?  If so, then some of us (well me) have been too narrowly focused
on the L3/BGP point.
But this "layer violation" has lead to a flurry of emails.  And for me, it
has been enlightening.  So Sorry to make some of you winch at how long it
took me to see this other facet.  Are there others?
