As you can see in the big lists, I do have some gaps to show
And I'm aiming for the Top Ten in the list of discoverers.
The initial motivation to work in that range came from an idea how to work primarily with OpenPFGW while keeping the number of redundant PRP tests low.

Edit: Or did you mean my suggestions for a 10M gap? That's just a fancy idea for a future endeavor. :)

Hi Mart, was indeed the 10M gap I was referring to! Just the practical side of hunting very big gaps that keeps me from deviating from the usual dividers but otherwise interesting if it lowers the amount of redundant PRP's!
