Yes not painless for me. One of my use cases for a BGP advertised network in the
44.128/10 is that a DMR master sits within the range.
It was specifically chosen rather then a ISP's IP as the master address would not
change as it had a bit more autonomy then one provided by an ISP which was out of our
control if we wanted for example to change ISP.
The result is a very large number of repeaters spread around remote locations in
Australia most requiring 4WD access some not even accessible until the dry season that
would need to be visited to update the repeater config via laptop.
I can do it but it's in no way painless. I might be in the minority but for us
it's not just a couple of web sites.

Matt.
Indeed, this does not sound “painless”, but I don’t think any renumbering can be. ARDC and
the TAC can try to make it as painless as possible, but it will definitely not be
completely painless. As I said to Tony, we are all here, in this mailing list, to make it
as easy as possible, and the TAC requested from the Board the support of ARDC and enough
time to make it easy.
I know that there will be cases of people that will have to go through this process. ARDC
itself and the TAC members will go through it, as well. But with this split we make sure
that the least amount of people will go through it. And for those that will, they will get
all the support the community and ARDC can give them.
I hope this helps!
