I agree with Andy. The stats don't need to be much more granular than the above, and if they were easily available in a chart (and maybe csv for those that want raw numbers) that would be excellent.
I don't want to see APNIC spending excessive amounts of time on this sort of request since it's very likely to be irrelevant before too much time has elapsed.
