[db-wg] Bogon route object cleanup

I also want to add that I don't personally see any real issue with keeping
the route objects for a /24 that's either going to be used for a deprecated
purpose or not used at all.
This is in contrast to the potential issues that could arise from removing
route objects that were used.

I think the risks here are probably greater than any potential "reward".
