It is a thankless task, but something that becomes increasingly important
as $provider starts to run low on IPv4 space to assign to customers.

Thank you

It is a long-winded, laborious, thankless task (well, mostly thankless)
and we should be writing software to do it for us. Of course, we all
know how bad everyone is at that, ergo it isn't often done.

On the other hand, perhaps these ISPs are worried that they might be
audited by an RIR?
