too bad, because I have a use case where I have a couple of route objects in RIPE-NOAUTH but they are maintained by an old peering partner which seems to have no wish to help me remove those objects which are legit AFRINIC route objects. thus although I want to clean them, I can't.

Hello Frank, Ronald,

The RIPE-NONAUTH database contains all out of region route(6) objects (referencing prefixes not allocated to RIPE).

This database was created by NWI-5: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2016-May/005245.html

The proposed cleanup is to only remove route(6) objects from RIPE-NONAUTH which are not registered in *any* region:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2021-March/006876.html

The cleanup will not delete the 62.61.192.0/18AS49902 route, as the prefix is registered to AFRINIC.
