How many sites does CenturyLink provide service to?

Speaking non-hypothetically, there's some shoddy network address management at play there. I can state for a fact that there's at least one /48 (and I imagine many more) in Jason's list that hasn't been valid for over three years. The IPv4 side of that circuit (a /25) is also still SWIP'd -- not that it's meaningfully usable in the DFZ.
Therein lies a (minor, I hope) flaw in Job Snijders' proposal to use ARIN OriginAS data for determining routing authorization: ISPs have to not suck at cleaning up SWIP entries for dormant circuits. I (as a customer) tried to get my employer's entries removed three months ago, but no one cared enough to follow up.
(Also, I doubt the vast majority of CenturyLink's residential customer base a) has non-tunneled IPv6 or b) receives a /48.)
If anyone from AS209 wants to clean up those SWIPs, they're welcome to ping me off-list. :-)
