I'm guessing the updated proposal Milton just announced will contain a
specification on exactly which data should be included in the stats.
(Personally, I love stats and colourful graphs of all kinds so I'll be
happy to see the distinction being made.)

I remain unconvinced that we need to change address policy in order to
get these stats made available, though. It seems more like an NCC
service to me - that it would be better to simply ask the NCC «could you
please put up a graph on www.ripe.net containing plots X, Y, and Z»
and/or «could you please put up a file on ftp.ripe.net containing
columns X, Y, and Z». But I won't stand in the way of requesting it
through address policy either.
