The problem with this idea would be all the existing software, hardware and infrastructure out there. You would either need to make it an alias, which wouldn't really change anything, or you would need to update everything everyone everywhere has, which is essentially the IPv6 migration and we all know how that is going.

How would you express that in an IPv4 header? These address ranges serve a real purpose. edit: OP: just like the downvote button is not for disagreement, the delete button is not for karma management. Not sure why you would respond to my post here and then immediately delete it.

  Isn’t there a max of -4 per comment anyway? I’ll admit I get upset when people downvote me for my opinion, but I don’t think deleting the comment is ever really worthwhile.

    I think so. It also disruptive to anyone who comes here and sees replies to a deleted comment and can't see the context.

      > It also disruptive to anyone who comes here and sees replies to a deleted comment and can't see the context. Amen. I try to quote what I'm referring to for just this reason. I have been searching for some sort of browser plugin that would do it for me like many mail clients that were "newsgroup aware" of old, but alas none yet.
