Thanks!

I dropped this and referred directly to the

tag, only because that's the current convention.  The result is 
equivalent.

Similarly, we use

  #:tests? #f                 ; no test suite

instead.  No functional change.

Self-signed certificates are the best certificates!  :-/

I took the liberty of expanding this a bit, mostly by adding 
mark-up and including the search terms ‘IRR’ and ‘RADB’.

I don't dispute its accuracy, but ‘an essential peering tool’ runs 
afoul of Guix's policy of toning down marketing language.  I did 
keep the reference to IXes though.

As noted on IRC, there are two BSD-3 files in this package.  Both 
the author & GitHub seem to have missed this.  I've submitted a 
bug report.

Pushed with the above changes as 
9ef6286bc3f6ed780606d3c2089aed7ff73074c3.

Kind regards,

T G-R
