This gets me wondering, might the attached diff be helpful? Is there any ru=
le=20
to (not) remove outdated/expired entries?

I know we tell people to really *READ* UPDATING and I really, really sugges=
t=20

Are there similar instances? RANDOM_IP_ID does only have the "was removed"=
=20
note, AFAIR.
