I'll try to confirm this with people who know more about the Labs architecture. But if I'm right (I think I am), then Atlas is measuring precisely what it should... and as a by-product, also its own growth :-) Hi Robert, nice line of thought :-)
Actually, from a purely technical point of view, I agree with your interpretation.
From a probe-herder's point of view, this behaviour sent me on a bounty hunt on our end, to find out why there is packet loss between our office network and the labs site :-)
I checked only one probe (the one I have at home) but the traceroute for labs is quite telling. Though I'm surprised that it is RIPE border router that is dropping the packets.
