But one thing I have to note, according to RIPE you have to document
every prefix you are using, either you are not using the addresses
allocated to you or you did not fill in/update the database correctly ;)

Taking that into consideration I can say that the 50% above is *in use*.
While the rest is 'lingering, not in use address space'. Won't be
getting abuse reports for those anyhow, as they are not in use....

But a good question: "Why isn't there a mnt-irt (yet)"
As that might explain why it isn't there at most ISP's.

Indeed, thus I think there should be a good look on _why_ that isn't happening.
If there isn't any motivation for adding it, then there is probably either no
clue/knowledge about the possibility or people simply don't require it.
In the latter case we can quickly end discussions...
