Fair point and you appear to be correct. I’ll caveat I’m speaking without concrete data, but I suspect that there are enough routes not held in RIR-hosted route servers that dropping the unauthenticated IRRs would be… impactful.

In the RIPE Connect-WG there are efforts to establish a BCP document to only use RIR IRRs for filtering.

Note that authenticating is not exclusive to RIR IRRs. TC does that too, using RIR/NIR published objects. Rubens
