The RIPE NCC periodically asks the community about the priority for cleaning up unused ASNs, e.g. - https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/db/minutes/ripe-52 (item G), and - https://ripe82.ripe.net/presentations/7-RIPE82-Feeback-from-RS.pdf (slide 16) So far, the answer has been that it is a low priority. Perhaps because there are about 4 billion left.
