What happened to draft-hain-1918bis-01, which tried to get more address
space for private Internets, but expired back in 2005?
I see the point about regarding 240.0.0.0/4 as "tainted space" and
therefore being less than useful on the public Internet.....

Title : Redesignation of 240/4 from 'Future Use" to
"Limited Use for Large Private Internets'
Author(s) : P. Wilson, et al.
Filename : draft-wilson-class-e-00.txt
Pages : 4

This document directs the IANA to designate the block of IPv4
addresses from 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (240.0.0.0/4) as unicast
address space for limited use in large private Internets.
It seems to me that we first need a discussion about why this space can't
be released as public address space. Is it known to be already deployed
as de facto private space?
I'd be a bit nervous about unintended side effects if
DHCP assigned me 255.255.255.255/32.
