If I have a quick look, and in my feeling the stats are quite different.

First of all, RIPE NCC, as the operator of k.root-servers.net need some
stats for there operations so why not make them public.

Secondly the data is quite usefull, and once the infrastructure is in place
it makes sense to use it for other nameservercomplexes as well.
