Hey Nick,

It's another very good point. I think we could solve this by adding a
timestamp to the record, when the prefix was last verified. If it has
not been verified for a certain time (maybe 2-3 years?) it could be
dropped from the database.

Thanks everyone for raising your concerns so constructively, it's a
pleasure to improve the registry with your input.

Best regards,

Nico
