I agree, ultimately doesn't belong in the RIPE database. However I'd
like to ensure there is a comprehensive path towardst that goal. I can
think of a number of steps to get there.

- mark out-of-region objects as being out-of-region
- present warnings to the user when out-of-region objects are created
- block inserting new out-of-region objects
- try to reach out to stakeholders of out-of-region route objects
- delete objects which also exist in other databases
- delete objects which are not visible in the DFZ
- ...

It'll be a lengthy road, but it can be done.

Kind regards,

Job
