Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. It's not about protecting entries.

I am responsible for a huge part of the to-be-deleted entries (XLINK-MNT)
and I would really _welcome_ a list of the then deleted entries belonging
to XLINK-MNT to synchronize this change with our own databases.

It would be less of a problem if RIPE wouldn't re-assign handles. But
as it is, our only way is to validate each and every database entry
to find out what had been deleted.
