This is a though I've been mulling over for a while. Why not have the IANA
set a "flag day" for the 192 space. Say, on 1 March 97, the 192.0.0.0/8
space will no longer be routable. At this point, the IANA, then sits on the
space, now removed from the routing tables, and reassigns it at a later date.
OR Just make 192.0.0.0/8 rfc1597 type of address space? Just a thought that
would need more serious discussion to implement.
