What plans are there to  support class-C "supernetting"? There have been
multiple proposals to hand out  blocks of 16 contiguous class-C networks
to give  4096-host nets,  in order to  conserve the  rapidly diminishing
supply  of "true"  class-B nets.  In fact,  I beleive  that a  number of
organizations are actively doing this already.
