I can't see anything on their site that provides a BGP feed of

about here.
We currently provide A BGP bogon route server feed for the asking,
which are routes of 'well known' aggregate prefixes published by IANA as
well as special and reserved netblocks documented by a IETF that should
not be seen on the public net.
Providing a feed of allocations would be the opposite approach of
course.
I suppose if there is interest and a need we could do this. Shoot
myself or the team (i...@cymru.com) a note off list if you have
thoughts on the matter or simply want to provide some feedback into
such a service and how it might best be used. We're always on the look
out for things we can do to help.
My big issue isn't the larger blocks, it's the smaller unallocated
blocks - which anyone with a not-too-strict transit provider could
easily steal and abuse. Getting the allocated space is just another way
of finding the smaller unallocated blocks (with a bit of extra work)
