I would have expected the IPv6 IRT usage to be much higher, because SixXS uses IRT in our software (and we are accountable for 3000 or so of the inet6num objects in the RIPE database). We only appear to use them in the allocated (/40) blocks, rather than in the assigned space to endusers. I've ammended the code so you can expect some 2800 or so objects to contain an IRT reference after the next iteration of our cronscript (once daily).
Hopefully this sets an example for other IPv6 users.
Ummm, isn't the whole point of the mnt-irt: that it works "downstream", so you don't *have* to put it on all 2800 inet6num entries, but just on the /32 or /40 allocations? But even so: compared to the total number of IPv6 addresses covered by the /32s allocated right now, your mnt-irt:s on a handful of /40s are a good start but won't make a big numerical impact...
