Assuming that the loudest voices on NANOG represent concensus or majority
or any such thing is probably a really poor plan.
Many of the noisiest people on the list are the least knowledgeable.
I would imagine that most sane people on the list are ignoring this
particular discussion, given the unlikelyhood of it producing anything
useful.
I don't think there's any danger of any serious fraction of the Internet
filtering out .255-addresses.
