There seems to be not great interest in this proposal, but this might
be because it mainly affects network researchers ("I need a few addresses
but it needs to be a routable /24") who might not be following the
APWG activities...

Speaking for myself, with some understanding on network testing / BGP
announcement testing, etc., I support this proposal.

These are temporary addresses, so the largest risk is "the NCC runs
out of temporary /24s for a while, and someone else can not do their
experiments needing a /24" - but without that change, neither can.
