RADB is largely meaningless, in terms of authorization or authority to advertise. However, if you have a properly delegated SWIP entry for the block, few providers will request LOA. Those who do, should probably be avoided. I still like the idea of using the DNS system for this, since there are already authoritative reverse delegations.
