This looks okay -- not stellar, but acceptable. Does merit's service hate the inconsistent announcements, or am I missing something?
I asked Merit about this last year. Apparently it thinks any announcement between a /25 and /32 is a "host" announcement. As far as I know no IP registry has issued any address longer than a /24 split between more than one organization. Given that both 128.88.250.0/27 and 128.88.250.32/29 are being announced by the identical ASN and identical upstreams, perhaps they could aggregate it into a single announcement.

for those who try to announce somewhat responsibly, this is helpful.
I should have stared at it longer before responding. It did occur to me -- later. Hopefully the full list is available somewhere, but the truncation and your request seem to indicate that it isn't.
