I can't believe that 40M addresses have suddenly been recovered, so I suspect a bug somewhere.  Bit suspicious that the increase from 360 to 400 is in the same ratio as 9% to 10% but is an increase instead of a decrease.


That does seem strange, (that URL doesn't work here BTW) I base my count
of of Team CYMRU's list. 
I have occasionally in the past year removed  /8's from our bogon list,
never re-added  >= /8's  so I'd say that script is faulty? perhaps why
it currently is not there? 

Cheers
