These are bogon ips and some of us are rejecting them already, see
http://www.completewhois.com/bogons/ and blacklist for it is
They aren't bogons. They've been allocated to the RIR. They are unassigned
to ISP's or end users, but are eligible for assignment.

to ISPs and organizations plus all other ip blocks that are reserved
