Comment (by twim):

 > We're currently unable to produce our own database, so we'll have to
 rely on some third party to do that for us. Researching alternatives is
 certainly an option, but it's not a priority right now.

 > Now you know why I'm not too keen to repeat that battle with another
 GeoIP/ASN data provider. And honestly, I expect that to be a similar
 battle.

 Absolutely agree. I just meant that we need more reliable and universal
 way to deal with ASN data. And also to use multiple sources for BGP data
 (maybe Linus Nordberg have some insight on this issue?).
 Anyway I think that there should be some reassessment about relay
 clusteing. And #19118 seems to be really relevant, thanks!
