5. Set State, Don't Act

Significant Clarification: Once routes are evaluated and have their state set, the operator should be in complete control of any policy applied based on the evaluation state. Absent specific operator configuration, policy MUST NOT be applied.

Automatic origin validation policy actions such as those described in "BGP Prefix Origin Validation State Extended Community" [RFC8097] MUST NOT be carried out or otherwise applied unless specifically configured by the operator.
