After considering your feedback about RIPE-510 & RIPE555,
RIPEstat developers have created another visual interpretation of
RIR "delegations" data: an interactive widget in which you can query 
for any address space prefix (0/0, 2000::/3 or 5/8, for example) and 
receive a prefix size distribution as an output:
https://stat.ripe.net/widget/rir-prefix-size-distribution

You can use the resulting output to determine a cutting-off point for 
the filtering based on the minimum allocation size: for example, if the 
213/8 block has only XX % prefixes smaller then /24, you might decide 
that it is safe to not accept those prefixes. Or you can go for the /25 
or /23 instead.

A data call API is also available for the scripting and creating your 
own favorite filters.

We are interested in your feedback:
- do you find this useful?
- how can we improve it, so that it suits your needs even better?

We already have multiple ideas for the additional features in the next 
release of the widget, but we are very much looking forward to hear from 
you and make a new widget or improve this one based on your needs!
