[RPKI] Accepting smaller routes than RPKI object allows (blackholing)

I think it would be much more easier to ask the software routers vendors (GoBGP,OpenBGP etc pp) to implement the feature to reply with different valid/invalid states for each routes.
This saves the community a lot of work with external scripts that needs to be triggered. But of course for the endcustomer it would cause setting up a 2nd BGP session only for blackholing :-/

What do you base the import filter on?
