As I mentioned, hostmaster(at)afrinic.net has been entirely cooperative
with my requests to remove route objects from the data base that referred
either to (1) bogon (globally unassigned) IP address space or (2) bogon
(globally unassigned) AS numbers.  The result being that as of my last
check AFRINIC could brag that is is the first, and so far the only RIR
whose IRR is now totally devoid of such "bogon" route objects.

(In fairness to the other RIRs I should clarify that in AFRINIC's case
they only had a grand total of just 4 such bogon route objects present
in their data base when I started my analysis.  This is in contrast to
some other & older RIRs that did have and still do have orders of magnitide
more bogon route obejcst in -their- data bases.  So for the others, the
task of eliminating these things is rather more difficult & time consuming.)
