[db-wg] Removing the Legacy Status "remarks" attribute

Dear Colleagues,

Tomorrow (Wednesday, 4th December), we will remove the legacy status "remarks" attribute from inetnum and aut-num objects (see below for more information).

We will notify the DB-WG again once this is complete.

Regards
Ed Shryane
