Not _exclusively_ 240/, though, because as has been pointed out numerous
times, for many contemplated CGN deployments, the CPE equipment connected
directly to the CGN-fronted fabric will be that already owned by the
customers, and with home customers, that may cover a very, very wide stretch
of manufacturers and models - i.e. whatever those customers already own. And
many of them won't support 240/.

As I already pointed out:

But as I previously pointed out in another message (too lazy to dig it up),
I do think we should have a chunk of 240/ space as _part_ of the CGN
allocation.
