I'm not sure where the /10 is likely to come from - ARIN has offered to donate it, but there is some slush in IANA space (partial networks, etc) that might also work.
Personally I'd like to see 240/4 reclassified as experimental private addressing (ie. not Internet unicast), because that allows use in closed environments with a single administrative domain... Whether it ever happens or not depends on how enthusiastic people get about it, I suppose...

That was of course discussed but the conclusion was that it's hard-coded into many IP stacks as invalid, so it would be pretty much unusable in practice. Brian
