The only loss for the most part in most of these related proposals is the time spent dickering on them and a few extra patches thrown in over the next decade.
So just agree already.127/8 is actually the proposal with the most potential for implementation issues as the definition change wends its way into system updates. And its easy to see that typical system updates tend to bring far greater disruption to system administrators on a regular basis. I would not rule out this change in that regard.
And if you are wrong, as history suggests you may very well be? What is lost by not acting now is possibly far greater. Joe
