If you were decommissioning a system you'd probably delete all the
user/application libraries (objects) that these authorizations
reference.  Whether or not the storage for these authorizations is
reclaimed by the system, I don't know.  Can MI objects reduce their size
or do they only grow (auto-extend) ?
