Marius,
Nothing has changed: 44.128.0.0/16 has been reserved for testing for a long time now. So
if you use filters, then all you need to do is continue to filter 44.128.0.0/16
If anyone creates documentation there are now defined addresses that can be used from
within the /16 that was already reserved.

Chris, what's the use of this?
Now, instead of one invalid subnet (44.128.0.0/16) that we should ignore, we get three of
them?
The new "documentation" subnet has exactly the same issues like the ones
described for the initial one, nothing is solved.
Worse, one can not even exemplify a simple clearly visible /16 /24 sub-netting with clear
numbers using 44.128.252.0/22, for people to understand netmasks.
And all of this just because some worry the address space will run out sometimes in the
future, so we get to subnet it further? C'mon...
Either choose one OUTSIDE the address space, or leave it as it is.
In the mean time: Everybody please update your RIP filters to include 44.128.252.0/22 as
well. And your blackhole routes too. Oh, and some scripts and daemons maybe....
Yes, and instead of one iptables rule, you need 3 of them.
At least make it half/half: 44.128.0.0/17 for documentation, 44.128.128.0/17 for those
worrying data could show up in some readme and magically trash their tests.

Ok, to avoid any confusion Jann (chair of the
TAC) and I have had a chat about this today. We agreed that it would make sense to reserve
a small part of the address space specifically for documentation relating to 44net. I have
updated the Portal to reflect this:
44.128.0.0/17
This is reserved for testing. Anyone may use this address space for private testing
purposes, it will never be allocated to anyone, it will never be advertised on the
Internet at large.
44.128.128.0/17
This is reserved for future testing. It also will never be allocated to anyone, nor will
it ever be advertised on the Internet. Within this address space we have allocated:
44.128.252.0/22
This is reserved specifically for documentation.
Anyone implementing filtering may safely route 44.128.0.0/16 to /dev/null
