The deletion of "route:" object means troubles with routing of the
prefix.
Of course, it is possible to route prefix without corresponding
"route:", but it isn't very easy. And, of course, forget of 
any routing policy with this prefix, you may just to place this prefix
to the Internet somehow. Of course, if you can (Talk with your
upstreams to configure "hand-made" filters, or get an upstream who will
accept "any" from you and have such peers and upstreams, etc).
