This seems like a really bad idea to me; am I really the only one who noticed?

https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast-127-00.html

That's over a week old and I don't see 3000 comments on it, so maybe it's just
me.  So many things are just me.

[ Hat tip to Lauren Weinstein, whom I stole it from ]

Everyone's just tired of rehashing this stuff... ;)  I looked up the "IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project" the authors (S.D. Schoen, J. Gilmore and D. Täht) are a part of.

https://github.com/schoen/unicast-extensions

------------------

Fixing the odd nooks and crannies still mildly broken in IPv4, by:

• Making class-e (240/4), 0/8, 127/8, 224/4 more usable
• Adding 419 million new IPs to the world
• Fixing zeroth networking
• Improving interoperability with multiple protocols and tunnelling technologies
• Supplying tested patches and tools that address these problems

------------------

Some of these are hardcoded in ASICs, I believe.  Change that! ;)
