Comment (by starlight):

 I was thinking of delaying for a different reason.  If MaxMind is a
 sponsor to any degree it would likely be best to retain them as the
 source.  Possibly they clean the RIR (Regional Internet Database)
 information, though in general RIR data is the primary source for IP block
 country code assignments.

 My guess is that the existing script has a bug where it coalesces non-
 contiguous blocks.  I was thinking of looking at it but it seemed to me
 like the MaxMind database cannot be downloaded freely, so there's no way
 to test.
