Look, guys, get real. CIDR is a big kluge and it was predictable as such. But as a second or third best "solution" it is necessary to use it, as the powers of anarchy screwed the Internet royally two years ago when the Internet community should have elected NSAPs. Remember the IESG solicitation for IPv7, to then be all done and settled by November 1992 (or was it 1991?). CIDR is just a bandaid because the community does not have its act together, and varieties of things are not driven by operational requirements. I don't particularly like CIDR, as compared to cleaner choices, but believe we have no choice but to use it as much and as best we can. Until the IETF/IESG/IAB/whoever get their stuff in gear and define and follow through on a process that pragmatically looks at requirements, defines a reasonable subset as strategic direction and people go off implementing and deploying it.
