Just to be clear, I am in complete agreement with Nick, and I probably
should not have muddied the waters.

For all the same reasons that bogus route objects which refer to bogon
IP address space have been deleted, those bogus route objects that refer
to bogon ASNs should also go into the ash heap of history.  They are an
anathema to the whole concept of the orderly assignment and usage of
number resources, as promoted and supported by the several RIRs.
