Remind me, who is "they"?
I remember this:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fuller-240space-02
and this:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilson-class-e-02
There was even a dedicated mailing list. But the drafts never made it beyond drafts, which suggests there was not a consensus in favour of an extra 18 months of IPv4 space with dubious utility value because of issues with deploy-and-forget equipment out in the wild.
The consensus seems to have been in favour of skipping 240/4 and just getting on with deploying IPv6, which everyone would have to do anyway no matter what. Is that so terrible?

Leo
