They were never warranted or guaranteed as routable.  However, the NIC
didn't place any warnings that space smaller than a certain amount may not
be routable, and at the time, no one had placed filters on route
distribution like SprintLink's.  The NIC opted to revise its wording on
the application around the same time SprintLink placed its filter on new
allocations.

For right now, the routability of class C's is not guaranteed out of the
swamp; however, I know of no route filters out there which will restrict
them.
