[db-wg] Puzzled by RIPE-NCC-LOCKED-MNT

 
Hi Ronald,


The following does not help you in your quest, but you highlighted one problem in the RIPE Database.
It is unfortunately something that has happened many times over over the years in the RIPE Database:

"remarks:   http://www.ripe.net/db/none-deprecation-042004.html"
"remarks:   For information on "status:" attribute read https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/faq/faq-status-values-legacy-resources, status=LEGACY"
"remarks:   http://www.ripe.net/db/support/security/domain/syntax.html"
"remarks:   MD5 passwords older than November 2011 were removed from this maintainer, see: https://www.ripe.net/removed2011pw" 
"remarks:   Auth lines removed by ripe-dbm at ripe.net on 19/8/2002"

"remarks:   Please see http://www.ripe.net/db/mailfrom.html for explanation"

Remarks: attribute being added during a "clean up" or implementation project. 
They projects are mainly successful but you are then left with lots of "remarks:" trying to explain why and what, many of them with now broken links and no follow up on removing the remarks after X amount of months/years/decades when the information is no longer relevant.

One of the more recent and still being added is the "legacy status:" on AS numbers. 
It is still being added to new AS numbers, even though it has been years since the Status attribute was added to AS numbers. 
Maybe it is time to stop adding it? 
And also time to remove it from all objects where it was added?


The URL will eventually reach the URL graveyard and will only be there as a reminder that something was done once upon a time with zero information value other than confusion to any users. 

The other cleanup and implementation URLs are so old that they also make very little sense to still be there in general.
