Michel.
that would be you.
in 1989, i built a 6,000 node network w/ 400 subnets
out of that address range. worked a treat. since then
the UNIX fascists have tightened their grip on what
the enterprising admin can do w/ that portion of the
address map.
now 127.0.0.0/8 seems mostly good for things like NTP
and "host" addresses, not tied to any specific interface.
still useful for some of us.
