In article <23868.39953.398906.559231 () gargle gargle HOWL> you write:
Not particularly interested in arguing for using Class E space but
this "not compatible" reasoning would seem to have applied to IPv6 in
the early 2000s (whatever, pick an earlier date when little supported
IPv6) just as well, pretty much.

Right.  A point that's been made about a hundred times already is that the effort
to add class E to the IPv4 space is the same as the effort to support IPv6, so
why waste time with class E?

R's,
