The RIPE NCC periodically asks the community about the priority for
cleaning up unused ASNs, e.g.

- https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/db/minutes/ripe-52
(item G), and
- https://ripe82.ripe.net/presentations/7-RIPE82-Feeback-from-RS.pdf (slide 16)

So far, the answer has been that it is a low priority. Perhaps because
there are about 4 billion left.
