Given the relative simplicity of the code change to activate 240/4 in an IPv4 stack, it's likely all major vendors could have patches out for allowing its use in private networks with little risk and little expendature of time. It's quite likely such changes could be out a very long time before IPv6 stacks in firewalls, routers and hosts receive sufficient testing to be deemed safe.
Remind me again how long A.B.C.0 and A.B.C.255 took to be "fixed" to be usable as IP addresses? Adrian
