[db-wg] Locking unmaintained PERSON and ROLE objects in the RIPE Database

Hi Myrna,

there are no longer any unmaintained person objects in the RIPE database. These objects have now been locked.

It is possible to make references to locked objects without the update failing, but it is not recommended as the locked objects can no longer be maintained.

We propose to add a warning to an update response, if a locked object is referenced.

Regards
Ed Shryane
RIPE NCC
