By way of clarification, I'm perfectly familiar with private addresses
being used on PtP links -- and also of the reasons why much of NANOG
thinks that's a bad idea, FWIW -- my quibble was merely with the range
chosen.

The intended use of that range has been clarified to me.  I'm happy
now.

Doesn't that improve everyone's day?  ;-)
