I asked your DB Managers and they suggested to forward my question to you. I hope that I don't unnecessarily spam you, but I couldn't find this in your db-wg archive with a quick look.
Question: Is it possible to keep the actual "date" of the "changed:" line unanonymized? By now it's always: changed: unread@ripe.net 20000101 I get that you want to protect personal data like the mail adresses in this field, but I can't see how this date could harm anyone.
I would like to use this date field for research purpose and I am happy about your answers!
A proposal has been circulating through db-wg to create two new attributes which are accurate and reliable and deprecate the "changed:" attribute, I believe this covers what you want to research in the database: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2014-May/004362.html Kind regards, Job
