I hope you won't be offended, but in the race to find the smallest 
possible item of V4 concern, this seems pretty close to the theoretical

I don't have a strong opinion about this proposal, but citing the 
existance of these addresses as rationale one way or the other seems 
immaterial.

I'd rather have IANA hang on to them.
