[nsp] 82/8 allocated to RIPE

Pekka,

how 
] you monitor updates now, Rob.

Updates are checked for through an automated process by multiple people;
the steps to update the appropriate documentation accordingly are
somewhat less automated but are typically turned around in a very short
timeframe.  In a way it is nice to have the bogons updated first so when
a more formal/public announcement is made there is a template to point
to.  If you went the script route you might gain about 12-24 hours
advanced notice.

Cheers,

You seem to make an assumption that announcements that are currently
sent 
would cease to exist.

I didn't; I was assuming it would just be one additional,
"semi-official" 
channel for announcing updates.

Yes, I agree that something more automated, closer to the source (IANA) 
would be better, but that may not be the case.

Note: the announcements could even be generated by a script which
fetches 
the latest IANA page and compares it to a previous one; I don't know how

you monitor updates now, Rob.
