Dear Michael van Elst,
Could you please explain the problem? The proposed protection mechanism with the RIP-NCC-PN-NONE-MNT is targeted only at individuals who have unreferenced and unmaintained person objects and want to protect their objects in the database.
It is not supposed to be used by a maintainer from the published list.
Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. It's not about protecting entries.
I am responsible for a huge part of the to-be-deleted entries (XLINK-MNT) and I would really _welcome_ a list of the then deleted entries belonging to XLINK-MNT to synchronize this change with our own databases.
It would be less of a problem if RIPE wouldn't re-assign handles. But as it is, our only way is to validate each and every database entry to find out what had been deleted.
We will try to help maintainers responsible for huge amount of contact information stored in the RIPE Database. If you feel you need such help, please contact ripe-dbm@ripe.net (with a copy to myself, andrei@ripe.net) to discuss your situation. Thanks, Andrei Robachevsky DB Group Manager RIPE NCC
