Hear hear,

Can I maybe add "postpone all non-critical maintenance"? If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

So unless you are adding capacity to support those working from home, you probably do everybody a big favour if you don't touch anything unless there is an outage or something you know for sure will cause an outage soon.

Stability is key here,

Absolutely agreed. We all need to think very carefully about whether a change is critical or not. It's not just capacity though - at $employer we plan to deploy RPKI OV later this month - this is a big change, a colossal project. Since stability indeed is of utmost importance, we must do what we can to protect against BGP hijacks of any kind. I don't see any other option than to protect the Internet network as best as we can and hopefully it will be of use to someone somewhere. I don't know who had planned what changes where - I can't judge if those changes would be critical or not, I hope can help each other better understand what must be done next. Kind regards, Job
