Comment (by twim):

 Thanks for looking, karsten!

 > Would that be better?

 For me it looks like we definelety should include all that we have, i.e.
 ASNs even without better-to-have AS names. Downgrade just will bring
 another errors.

 IMHO, in the long-term we should avoid using GeoIP databases (like
 MaxMind's) and do vanilla IP to ASN mapping. And thus avoid mysteriuos
 latitude/longtitude/radius/city fields. Proably something like this [1].
 We have to have more precise and recent AS mapping (especially for
 little-t-tor).

 Anyway tracking MaxMind's layout change is a way to nowhere.
