Yo CJ!
I was under the impression that although @home was currently allocate
just part of the 24/8 space, that the entire space was RESERVED for
future expansion of @home. Is this not true? Certainly no-one else
is getting space from that block.
In any case, a quick check of DejaNews shows that Nanog had this
same exact discussion on March 13, 1996, so how about we drop it
and just re-read the old messages?
