I believe that all routes translated from the NSFnet PRDB to the RADB
were tagged with the comm_NSFNET community list.  As far as I know,
no one uses that information.  (Or the other three communities that
Curtis cited.)

If you would like the obsolete comm_list and advisory attributes
removed from RADB route objects for which you are an authorized
maintainer, send a note requesting this to db-admin@ra.net and we
will do it for you.
