I'd bet they're not all resolved...just mostly to the point that nobody 
cares.  Does anyone have a traceroute web page from another (not 69/8) 
block that recently went from reserved to RIR allocated?  I'd be 
interesting to see how many of the 69/8 unreachable IPs are unreachable 
from other reserved->RIR allocated blocks.

By the end of the week, I expect to have a system setup (big system with
lots of available bandwidth) where people can do simultaneous traceroutes
from 69 and !69 IPs and see the results side by side.  I've got this now
on my workstation and have included a link to it in most of the filter
update request messages I've sent, but I don't want all of nanog (much
less /.) hitting my workstation.  I also plan to put the reachability
database on that system and make the unreachable IPs viewable.
