So: I "decided" to use 5/8 for our internal networks because I felt that it stretched my fingers too much to go all the way over to "1" and then over to the other end of the top row to "0." 5 seemed a happier and easier choice. No, but really, what was your point again? IANA should go around making new Class A reservations or delegations to squatters? If so, I really *do* need to get busy and renumbering so I have a claim on 5/8.... :-) ...
