Under existing policies, there is no way for IANA to carve out pieces of =
address blocks. The /8s with pieces carved out of them by the IETF =
are/will be allocated to RIRs with an understanding that the RIRs aren't =
supposed to allocate the IETF-designated reserved chunks (which, =
presumably, they won't).
