[db-wg] Removie ALL bogus route objects from BOTH data bases

I guess I'll try this again, since I don't recall seeing either any ascent
nor any pushback the last time I tried to raise this point here.

Al long as those bogus route objects that refer to bogon IP address space
are being removed from the data, why not also remove all of the equally
bogus route objects that refer to bogon AS numbers?

I hope that I'm not actually the only one who sees the wisdom in cleaning
up the whole mess that currently exists in the RIPE data bases.

There are, at present, on the order of about 80 or so bogus route objects
in the "regular" data base that refer to bogon AS numbers, and there are,
give or take, about 1,500 of such bogus route objects currently within
the (separate) RIPE-NONAUTH data base.

Is anyone passionately in favor of keeping all of this useless and
potentially fraudlent or misleading garbage in the data base?  If not,
then why not clear it all out?

I mean seriously, the RIRs data bases are *supposed* to be the definitive
guides to who has what and who may use what.  And yet RIPE is, in effect,
tacitly -appproving- of the use of bogon AS numbers.  So I need to ask:
Why?
