No really, the reason for some leaks isn't because so-and-so was
never a customer, they were.  5 years ago.  nobody removed the
routes from
the IRR or AS-SET or <insert method here> and now the route is
learned via
some other location and it's bypassed your perimiter security and
infiltrated your BGP.

I agree, how many of you folks that use IRRs have
ever deleted an IRR object?  Heck, some ISPs even
add them based on existence of advertised routes.

Even better, how many have tried to get another provider to remove legacy
objects from days gone by when someone was adding objects on your behalf?  I
have objects that date back to 1998 that are completely bogus and I can't do
squat about it.
