There are some corner cases where this could cause permanent and 
unwarranted pain.

1. what's the procedure for backing out the deletion if the ROA holder 
in the other RIR makes a mistake and, for example, forgets to create a 
roa for a specific ASN and then they find their RIPE-NONAUTH route 
object deleted by accident.

2. what happens when someone is busy creating ROAs in, for example, 
Magastan and the RIPE NCC runs a deletion process mid-way through that 
process

3. the above situations are complicated by RFC6382.

It might be a good idea to send some warnings to the holders of the 
route/route6 objects before nuking their objects + build in a timeout 
period.
