Maybe an experimental rfc making it a rfc 1918-like subnet and implementing it on openwrt or something like that to see what happens. how many ip cameras and the like roll over and die? same for class E addresses too, I suppose. The question with anything that asks about legacy is how long the long tail actually is.
