I know tons of work went into it, but it always seemed that brute force and ignorance won out using unicast. Even if it has some niche uses, I seriously doubt that it needs 400M addresses. If you wanted to reclaim ipv4 addresses it seems that class D and class E would be a much better target than loopback. Mike, not that I have any stake in this
