So:

I "decided" to use 5/8 for our internal networks because I felt that it
stretched my fingers too much to go all the way over to "1" and then over
to the other end of the top row to "0."  5 seemed a happier and easier
choice.

No, but really, what was your point again?  IANA should go around making
new Class A reservations or delegations to squatters?  If so, I really
*do* need to get busy and renumbering so I have a claim on 5/8....
