Re: OT:CCIE number assignments

I noticed this also. About a week or two ago it was 253xx then today it was
252xx and 253xx
88 # difference between the 253xx yesterday and the one from about 2 weeks
ago.

it seem like each location has a few numbers slotted for them to issue. OR
maybe the 252xx email was delayed for a bit.
