It is always a happy thing to ask the db-admin to remove crud from
the database. If uunet.ca is no longer originating this route, it
should be removed. Mail to db-admin@radb.net will quickly resolve this.

Providers that build filters from IRR data are likely doing this from
local copies of the various repositories. These mirrors may be real-time
or taken from the snapshots on the FTP space.
At a guess, said "filter" is likely because the ISP in question isn't
mirroring the CSAS repository.
