A middle ground could be to in the 2.X releases to use the current
behaviour (default inclusion in the bogons, enable 0/8 and 240/4 to
work using a config directive.

*Then* in the 3.X releases, switch the behaviour (major behaviour
change) to defaulting to omtting 0/8 and 240/4 from the default
hard-coded bogons. Re-add the networks to the default (built-in)
bogons list using a config directive.
