Thank you and your team very much for this effort and the code. We're 
interested in BGPSec and merging the code into our repo, but probably 
not in the current major branch  1.x. We're planning make a release of 
IPv4 and IPv6 integrated version 2.x too. There will be a native support 
of RPKI and we would like to merge your code to 2.x version.

Cheers,
BIRD Team
