I agree. this should be available and it should be possible to make this
happen.

I'm wondering whether the -delegated files contain the complete set of
what is under administration of AfriNIC (or whichever RIR).

But:
a) I don't like to wonder, so AfriNIC staff: please clarify this little
detail, but

b) more importantly, AfriNIC staff: please make a list of
AfriNIC-administered blocks [1] available online, also as CSV or
similar, in a format like the -delegated files or
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-recovered-address-space/ipv4-recovered-address-space-2.csv

... and obviously tell us about it and make it all reachable/linked from
the website.

I think nobody wants for ticket #755910 to become much older than half a
year.

Thanks,
Frank
