Remind me, who is "they"?

I remember this:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fuller-240space-02

and this:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilson-class-e-02

There was even a dedicated mailing list. But the drafts never made it beyond drafts, which suggests there was not a 
consensus in favour of an extra 18 months of IPv4 space with dubious utility value because of issues with 
deploy-and-forget equipment out in the wild.

The consensus seems to have been in favour of skipping 240/4 and just getting on with deploying IPv6, which everyone 
would have to do anyway no matter what. Is that so terrible?

Leo
