Are you sure that this is a good idea? Is this behavior
described/recommended somewhere? IMHO specifying network without
explicitly defined netmask is at least dangerous, if not wrong, in
present classless addressing time. Changing existing behavior breaks
POLA for some set of users, while benefits are not so obvious to me.
With previous code networks 10.0.0.0 and 11.0.0.0 were treated as /8,
but with this change it became /7 and /8 respectively.

Well it is how CIDR works.. and cidr's been around since before
1997. I can go dig up the RFC's that specifu this if you woudl like

I cannot see any references to CIDR notation without prefix length in RFC 4632.
