Actually, he owns nothing. He holds.

Nevertheless, how does it correlates with reassigning of ASNs and 
removing references to it? If the resource holder doesn't hold AS number 
- he shouldn't use it. If he shouldn't use it - any reference to object 
that doesn't hold by any End User may be (and should be) deleted for the 
future reassigning.

I saw no information inside proposal to remove the objects that 
referenced to deleted ASN - it's just removing a broken references 
inside those objects. So, deleting of the broken references is the way 
to provide integrity to RIPE's database - nothing additional.
