RE: CCIE numbers?

The Hall of Fame that Mark La Porte maintains seems to confirm the multiple
of 5 numbering. The last 11 numbers at least are multiple of 5:

If this is true, it's really unbelievable.

Sandaka-
Dec. 7- #32555 (32555-31895= diff 660 in
20 days= 33/day)
 
Steve D.-
Dec. 13- #32840 (32840-32555= diff of 285 in 6
days= 48/day)
 
Even if you take into account the weekends and Holidays (for
some areas), that's averaging 40 a day! WHAT? That would be almost 15,000
a
year!
 
I saw someone post a suspicion last week, but it does seem that Cisco
is going in multiples of 5's. That would bring the numbers down to about 8
a
day, which is what is was last year.
 
Has anyone here heard and verified
someone obtaining a non multiple of 5 CCIE number within the last few
month(s)? I know Cisco wanted to hit 30,000 by the end of the year, but as
they've beat that (around Sept. 9th, 2011), this seems to still continue.
 
Thoughts? Jus' sayin'...
