It seems those are live and ready to use, but I did not see in the
announcement that people could start updating their root zone before
2023-11-27 and be sure to receive the same service level than with the old
addresses.

Could you clarify that those are indeed good to go and there is no need to
wait for the renumbering date to update root.hints?
Would it be worth clarifying this on the LACNIC announcement?

Thanks
