to reiterate my concerns expressed at the mic yesterday,
Ohta-san, would you be comfortable with 200,000,000 devices
being shipped with the IP address 131.112.32.188 (the address
of one of your organizations nameservers) being burned into
eeprom?
disclaimers about restricting, by IETF fiat, well known addresses
to special IP ranges will -NOT- work in the real world.
If you are willing to commit your enterprise to absorb 0.1%
of the total packets generated by 200,000,000 devices, then
perhaps I will be persuaded that use of well-known addresses
is an operationally acceptable technique.
Yes, I know we do it now and it reduces the level of effort
in getting new features deployed, but in -EVERY- case, the
use of well known addresses has caused problems.
