If used for general assignment, sure. But if used for what people have been begging for NAT444 middle-4 space. Well, that might work. Code update on the CPE is all it would take. The systems involved would never see it.
except when the tried to determine their external ip. and of course one of the big applications for cgnat is mobile where the cpe are the end systems... There are negligible benefits as far as I can tell from the vantage points of end systems to creating new private scope ipv4 regions at this late date. network operators see some but frankly each one comes with additional support costs as does using rfc1918... the difference is we've got a lot of experience with the latter even in nat444 envirnments.
