The information in the RIPE DB, especially the route: and aut-num:
objects, are very closely tied to operational issues.  A number of
large networks (specific example: Cable & Wireless, AS1273, our
upstream provider) are using this data to build their BGP filters.

This is very much "hard tied to operational issues".
