I got to understand that messing around with it [c|w]ould have far-reaching unwanted consequences for the whole IP Address Distribution System.
Like we have Addresses to Distribute :-) - the IPv4 run-out has fairly fundamental consequences for the environment in which we operate, and at least one of the pillars of RFC2050 ("conservation") is not exactly relevant anymore. I consider RFC2050 a very useful document to establish principles, but it can not be binding - and in doubt, the bottom-up community based process will win.
