Perhaps in the US, I don't know, I'm from the UK, not every country has such

ampr.org hosts file recently? There are a lot
of A records mapping 44/8 IPs that are clearly not based on callsigns.
We are also allocating subnets out to people experimenting with BGP announcements and
other projects that will require more flexible arrangements.
