Why should the testing stop (and what sort of testing did Cymru do?)?
From my experience with 69/8 space (69box.atlantic.net), I can tell you,
networks with outdated bogon filters will always exist. If Cymru is
providing or can provide a tool for people to use to test/verify that
certain networks have such filters affecting the above blocks, then it's
still a useful service.
