Don't most IP stacks (still) consider 240/8 and above "illegal
addresses" and won't deal with packets to/from those addresses?
If that's still the case, it'd be another good 10-20 years before
240/8 and above could be released for general use, as nothing would
work with them.
In that case, you might as well start rolling out IPv6 and any new
hardware/software changes ready for v6.
