Is there any possibility we can now get a block of ASNs set aside for
documentation purposes, akin to example.com and/or the TEST network?
A block of ASNs for this purpose would be very helpful for folks
writing docs, would reduce the possibility of 'cut-and-paste
hijacking', and would also allow more accurate documentation (many
products and tools have special handling for the designated private
ASNs which make documentation difficult).
