So at the moment, it looks like between 30%-40% (i.e. from (393+851)/4050 to (339+393+851)/4050) of the ERX address space is arguably abandoned from the point of view of RIPE-DB maintainership - although obviously not necessarily from other points of view. This would lend some support to my speculation that there was a substantial quantity of address space in the dead / lost category, and that it may be a good idea to take this into account in the policy formation. I tried playing around with a local copy of ripe.db.inetnum.gz earlier, but couldn't reproduce these numbers because some (many?) of the status: lines in the public DB are wrong. Do you have the raw data here? I.e. a canonical list of the ERX inetnums, and which category out of the 6 mentioned above that each falls into? Nick
