I don't think there is a good case to continue to allow the creation of new ROUTE(6) objects in the RIPE DB for non RIPE address space.
I'm seeing quite some abuse of this 'feature', where spammers/hijackers register out-of-region prefixes to sneak them into people's prefix-list filters. It would be good if that hole can be plugged.
Separately, a study should be done on how to deal with the existing non-RIPE-managed ROUTE(6) objects in the DB. Maybe some cleanup can be done for at least for a subset of those objects.
I fully agree with Job's position regarding the foreign route(6) objects. I think that we should also do a cleanup the existing objects too. Kind regards, -- Clément Cavadore
