I just want to add a +1 for what Nick is saying here. Also, it was terminated according to IANA over 6 years ago, so it is not really a recent depreciation. -Cynthia On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 5:54 PM Nick Hilliard via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> wrote:

While Anycast 6to4 needs to die, it isn't fully dead yet. So routes for these two prefixes are legitimate.
the discussion is whether it's appropriate for the RIPE NCC to continue to publish route objects for this prefix, which is a different discussion to the announcements in the dfz.
The route objects are documentation of policy. If the prefix isn't legitimate according to IANA or RIR allocations / assignments (and in this case, it definitely isn't), then the route object shouldn't be in the IRRDB.
There's nothing stopping operators from continuing to announce the prefix. It would be better if it were left to die, but this is ultimately a choice of each individual operator.
The same argument applies to the route objects for 2002::/16.
