As an extension of RFC1918, it would have solved the questionable and nevertheless widespread squatting of 30/8 and

There's already widespread use (abuse ?) of DOD /8's. T-Mobile commonly assigns 26/8 space (and others) to customers

They are not the only ones; would probably be faster to count who does not squat than who does. Which makes my point : 
if we had done it 15 years ago and allocated 240/4 as private unicast, these 268 million addresses would have been 
enough for most to avoid squatting DoD.
This is the last attempt that I remember : https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilson-class-e-02

Not problem, because IPv6 is going to be deployed in the next two years, right ? that's what I have been hearing for 20 
years now.
