That's what I also think but you have to do with what you have on the
shelf. I actually don't recommend using FECO::/10 anymore although it is
more than probable that it will not be reallocated to another use any
time soon. In the midterm you might find implementations that hardcode a
blackhole.

The final decision has not been made; what is decided during WG meetings
needs to be confirmed on the mailing list. However, given the fact that
some pro site-locals such as myself will recommend going with ahead with
the deprecation for the sake of not staying stuck on this for years....
