Wouldn't it be cool if we had a cryptographic mechanism to sign an
authority to the IRR publisher to eject old data.

Some way you could prove you have control of the asset, and the  let the
RADB people know you repudiated some old data, made under somebody else's
authority which you can't remove directly, even though it's probably stale.

Something like a PKI tagged with your addresses and/or ASN.
