Note that RPKI won’t prevent outages caused by route leaks (because the leak has a valid signed origin).

This is a great call out, BTW.

The fact that the original AS Origin is included here makes this even more weaponized.

Brings it back to why doesn't the Noction platform "dirty" the injected announcements. For example, throwing out some Private ASNs or ASNs of "tier 1" providers to prevent those announcements from ever getting propagated around.
