RIPE are indeed assigning from all of 62.0.0.0/8 and, as per
the policy and procedures document ripe-155, are doing so as
Miquel says i.e. in blocks of /19 or more.  On Monday, the RIPE
NCC reported 50 allocations so far, with almost 75% of these
appearing in the routing tables.  It would be nice if we all
got really classless and made this 100%.
