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.
