[arin-tech-discuss] Stale / Invalid objects in ARIN IRR

One other thing to note is that ARIN is currently doing the work to
integrate "the whois database" to create a new IRR that will only
contain authenticated data.  There was an update on the progress of this
project at the last ARIN meeting.  The slides can be found here.

https://www.arin.net/vault/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_44/PDF/PPM/jimmerson_irr_rpki.pdf

My understanding of the plan is that the old/current IRR will be renamed
much in the same way RIPE created the RIPE-NOAUTH database.
