This gets to the heart of the matter. It is now 8 years later and RADB is 
not catching on. But during the same time period some other UMich people 
worked on a more general purpose directory service called LDAP and that 
one is catching on. LDAP technology can be made to do the job that we need 
done and instead of having to create tools from scratch we can leverage a 
lot of commercial tools to deal with the core functions.

you are confusing an application service, radb, with an underlying
store protocol, ldap.  e.g., show me a routing db in ldap that has
10% the use of radb.  by your reckoning, sql is the technology, as
ripe, apnic, and many others use it as the *store* for their routing
databases.
