So why don't do some "hidden" flag part of asnum object?

Let say that, end user (MNT) would be able to indicate that ASN should be hidden from the BGP and provide remarks for a reason (IXP or whatever) - mandatory. If such ASN would be observed in the BGP, the hidden flag would be unset and LIR/holder would be notified.

What purpose would that serve apart from satisfying idle curiosity? The reasons why an ASN is not advertised are of concern only to the operator of that ASN. rgds, Sascha Luck
