This gets me wondering, might the attached diff be helpful? Is there any rule 
to (not) remove outdated/expired entries?

I know we tell people to really *READ* UPDATING and I really, really suggest 
that to everybody. But we can still make it easier - right?

Are there similar instances? RANDOM_IP_ID does only have the "was removed" 
note, AFAIR.
