        People tend to treat things like IRR (eg: RADB, etc) as a
garbage pit you toss things into and never remove from.

So who do we ask about making IRRs  expire  defunct objects and/or
changing their system design to  ensure that the legitimate resource holder
can remove references to their prefix  from ASes  they no longer
authorize to carry them,

without requiring all sorts of assistance, cooperation, and
willingness from the AS maintainer?  :)

        I have been asking the folks who manage the maintnr object
in question.  I have so far been mostly successful.  I spend varying
amounts of time explaining myself...  /Sometimes/ simply pasting the
object in an email to the right person is all that is needed.
