        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?  :)


      Is this a non-issue that I shouldn't worry about?  Doesn't the
quality of this data effect Origin Validation efforts?

        Yes it does.  This has a fairly severe impact for those that build
off the IRR data for filters.  We have seen customers end up including
AS7018 in their AS-SET or as you noticed have other legacy routes appear.
