This looks like a willy-waving exercise by Cloudflare coming up with the lowest
quad-digit IP. They must have known that this would cause routing issues, and
now suddenly it's our responsibility to make significant changes to live
infrastructures just so they can continue to look clever with the IP address.



I am very impressed at Cloudflare’s forward thinking to force investing a significant amount of IPv4 infrastructure. 
This will obviously become even more important in the future as IPv6 withers away and is replaced by IPv4.

And, I repeat, please tell me how many end users know about or care about DNS, even after reading snake oil 
advertisements.
