sure, and as a proxy for that 'AS Operator', it's not a 1:1
correlation to be sure but it should be reasonably close, no?

most likely you are not... I think I jump to 'CA == REPO ==
AS-Operator == ASN allocated' because lacking any direct data
otherwise it seems like a good estimation of numbers. Essentially each
ASN allocated is going to be a repository that needs to be gathered,
right? If there are 10% more repositories due to EndSite allocations
without an ASN also allocated to them I think it's still in the
ballpark to say "number of Repos == ASN allocation number".

I could be wrong.
