But note that this is not what I was suggesting; 192.168.0.0/16 has
the dubious distinction of being an even stupider pick for a home
network than 192.168.0.0/24.

[Also, I see nothing wrong with the continued use of the terms 'class
A, B, C' to refer to /8, /16 and /24 networks - wherever in the
address space they are.]
