Do you think that it's normal to allocate a pTLA with an unallocated ASN
?

remove-private-AS will remove the private ASN in ASpath, not the route
with private ASN...

Exemple:

3ffe:ffff::/32

1 2 3 65000

If AS3 use remove-private-AS, other network will get this:

3ffe:ffff::/32

1 2 3

AS3 is not the source of 3ffe:ffff::/32, the source is 65000

=> private ASN _MUST_ send their routes with the community no-export
(like i do before)

Using this for don't announce route with private ASN is better:

ip as-path access-list private-asn-out deny
_(6451[2-9]|645[2-9][0-9]|64[6-9][0-9][0-9]|65[0-4][0-9][0-9]|655[0-2][0-9]|6553[0-5])_
ip as-path access-list private-asn-out permit .*
