The great innovation of blockchain is that once a Bitcoin is transferred, the previous owner can’t take it back.
A distinguishing feature of RPKI is that the issuer of the EE certificate can revoke it to take back ownership of the 
IP address.
Imagine if stale entries in the IRR could not be cleaned up because they were locked up in a blockchain.
