That's over a week old and I don't see 3000 comments on it, so maybe it's just
me. So many things are just me.

Everyone's just tired of rehashing this stuff... ;) I looked up the
"IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project" the authors (S.D. Schoen, J. Gilmore
and D. Täht) are a part of.
https://github.com/schoen/unicast-extensions
------------------
Fixing the odd nooks and crannies still mildly broken in IPv4, by:
* Making class-e (240/4), 0/8, 127/8, 224/4 more usable
* Adding 419 million new IPs to the world
* Fixing zeroth networking
<https://github.com/schoen/unicast-extensions/blob/master/ZEROTH.md>
* Improving interoperability with multiple protocols and tunnelling
technologies
* Supplying tested patches and tools that address these problems
------------------
Some of these are hardcoded in ASICs, I believe. Change that! ;)
