Just to be clear, I am in complete agreement with Nick, and I probably<br>
should not have muddied the waters.<br>
<br>
For all the same reasons that bogus route objects which refer to bogon<br>
IP address space have been deleted, those bogus route objects that refer<br>
to bogon ASNs should also go into the ash heap of history. They are an<br>
anathema to the whole concept of the orderly assignment and usage of<br>
number resources, as promoted and supported by the several RIRs.<br>
