Yip, v5.0.

Hopefully it's be ready by the end of Feb (but it may slip to March).

I wouldn't as the new system will have this all covered. For example see 
the blocked prefixes here:

https://www.inex.ie/ixp/lg/rs2-lan1-ipv4/routes/protocol/pb_0034_as2110

Clicking details shows the reasons, etc.

A consolidated view of each route server / collector will be available 
for the member in place of the existing tool.
