inetnum

Is inetnum obsolete?  If so why are there so many of them?  Sorry if I
should already know this.

Another question.  Has any ever considered a means of registering the
CIDR block allocations independently of whether they are routed or
aggregated?  This way we might be able to look at the effectiveness of
prefix allocations delegated by IANA in terms of the number of routes
they end up generating.  Looks almost as if the inetnum was used for
that in the RIPE IRR database.
