“ As mentioned in Google VPC network valid IPv4 ranges, Class E addresses (240.0.0.0/4) are reserved for future use, as noted in RFC 5735 and RFC 1112 — however, that doesn’t mean you can’t use them today in certain circumstances.”
Wow. reserved means “kept aside”. Once someone starts using them, they stop being kept aside.
This means that de-facto they are private addresses now. I suppose it’s a pragmatic choice.
But, wow, so much for having interactions in relevant standards bodies, multistakeholder engagements, etc. Why bother. Classy. /s
