Hi

Just a clarification to automatic reload based on RPKI changes - it is
enabled by default (controlled by option 'rpki reload'), but for BGP it
requires 'import table', which is not enabled by default. If you filter
RPKI on pipe from one table to another, you do not need to enable
anything, but if you filter RPKI in BGP import filter, you have to enable
'import table' or do it manually as before.
