Known Bugs and Limitations
--------------------------

Installation:

o Many variables are still hardcoded. This is only
  a prototype; actually compiling and installing it 
  outside the RIPE NCC is not a straightforward task.

Queries:

o Some RPSL objects (like as-block) are not returned by queries.

Dbupdate:

o The MAIL-FROM authentication scheme does not accept
  regular expressions.
o mntner and as-blocks cannot be created without the 
  override password.
o as-block objects are not returned by queries: thus 
  aut-num objects cannot be created.
o The PGPKEY authentication scheme is not supported yet.
o MIME-encapsulated messages are treated as plain text messages.

Backend:

o The backend still needs fixes and improvements.
