I was thinking the same thing. I know of many installations where 1/8 has
been used internally. Technically, they're mostly all "mainframe"
installations that are never supposed to be connected to the internet, but
they're accessed by machines that are. (that are already using private
IPv4 space.)
But it's not all bad. It's assigned to APNIC, so a lot of people will
gladly continue blocking it.
