What triggered that part of the discussion is a logical fallacy along 
the lines of: if A is true, then B is true. B is true, therefore A is true.

Here: all networks that didn't already change their peering IP are not 
yet connected to the updated route-server. Some networks are not 
connected to any route-server. Therefore, those networks did not yet 
change their peering IP.

I think you can see what's wrong with that statement.. it does not 
follow. That has nothing to do with peering department resources, but 
everything to do with the chosen peering strategy.
