a cleanup would be a good idea, but this is probably too aggressive an
approach.  I'd prefer to see multiple contact attempts with the objects
eventually modified to make a note that they are flagged for deletion,
before they are actually deleted.

Some categories of entries can probably be deleted immediately, e.g.
route(6) objects which are associated with ASNs which are unregistered
or from the private ranges.

There are a couple of special case ASNs, e.g. AS112.
