I think it's not. The problem will not go away then, it will just take
longer before it appears again. The policies have to get stricter,
there
is no point in 'fixing' your problems by not fixing the issue that
created them in the first place.
Well, how many AS numbers would you like to give out? 30000 in 20
years? 100k a year? A million in a month? 32 bits will then give you
2863 millennia, 429 centuries or 357 years, respectively.
Oh, and just for fun: tell me if you see AS12945 in your routing
table.
I can assure you that this AS number was assigned and is still used in
full compliance with RIPE policies.

As you can see there is evidence to substantiate your claim. That you
have no route: object and are advertising UUNet space under another ASN
to specific peers is something else.
This AS is only visible to around 20 peers. :-) Apparently you're one
of them although I have no idea which one. The other peculiarities are
to avoid taking up space in the global routing table, which would be
more work but provide no benefits.
