+1 for finding interested contacts in other distros and just submit a request to the LSB to have the static range expanded
Mats Wichmann of the LSB, and I discussed Linux Assigned Names And Numbers Authority matters at OLS a few weeks ago at some length, and the matter was discussed in the LSB weekly conference call on Wednesday with him and me leading the discussion [the calls are open to persons willing to participate and work -- ask off list if Fedora or Red Hat wish details for calling in -- each has been absent from th process for reasons unknown to me in recent years. -- Alan Cox occastionally chimes in on the mailing list, always with insightful comment, however] http://www.lanana.org/ and there is certainly an interest at the LSB in helping reach inter-vendor coordination in this space.
Please feel free to CC me on any proposal for extension as it is worked up.
