pmoody added the comment:

I'm still not convinced. The rfc still says in essence "It's not private like 
rfc1918 space, but sometimes certain people can treat it similarly." and I 
think it would be pretty surprising for ipaddress to return True if it's not a 
network operator running the query. Since we have no way of knowing that, I'm 
extremely disinclined to make this change. A more formal solution would be all 
of the possible "is_RFCXXXX" methods, but that doesn't seem to be worth the 
effort.
