[ixpmanager] IRR updating issue with BGPQ3

[Douglas Fischer]

As far as I can see, our conversation transcended the scope of a mail-list
dedicated to supporting the IXP-Manager community.

On the one hand, this is bad.
I apologize for having helped trigger this change of course.

On the other hand, this is good.
Well-meaning people having a tool in common talking about difficulties that
transcend the tool.

But back to the topic:
I imagine this conversation will get to the point of talking about some
kind of multibase referential integrity check.

And I believe that this is already being discussed by other colleagues.
I bring it here for your knowledge:
