Can anyone please explain to me, preferably using small words that I can understand, why route objects such as the following still exist in the data base at the present time? route: 62.61.192.0/18 descr: SRR origin: AS49902 mnt-by: CEGETEL_LA_REUNION created: 2014-09-30T15:01:51Z last-modified: 2018-09-04T18:00:38Z source: RIPE-NONAUTH (Please note that the whole of 62.61.192.0/18 currently appears to be under the administration of AFRINIC.) I understand that pre-existing route objects within the RIPE data base that relate to IP space which is under the administration of other (non-RIPE) RIRs was set to "RIPE-NONAUTH" awhile back, which is certainly a Good Thing, but I wonder if there is a date certain by which even these route objects will be sunsetted and removed from the RIPE db.
