YouTube AS36561 began announcing 1.0.0.0/8

So:

I "decided" to use 5/8 for our internal networks because I felt that it
stretched my fingers too much to go all the way over to "1" and then over
to the other end of the top row to "0." 5 seemed a happier and easier
choice.

No, but really, what was your point again? IANA should go around making
new Class A reservations or delegations to squatters? If so, I really
*do* need to get busy and renumbering so I have a claim on 5/8....

The Hamachi P2P VPN client beat you to it... they decided to use 5.0.0.0/8 several years ago.
