How polluted is 1/8?

[joelja at bogus.com (Joel Jaeggli)]

It should be of no surprise to anyone that a number of the remaining
prefixes are something of a mess(somebody ask t-mobile how they're using
14/8 internally for example). One's new ipv4 assignments are  going to
be of significantly lower quality than the one received a decade ago,
The property is probably transitive in that the overall quality of the
ipv4 unicast space is declining...

The way to reduce the entropy in a system is to pump more energy in,
there's always the question however of whether that's even worth it or not.
