Re: 214/8 and 215/8

I seem to remember that they were exchanged for 49/8 and 50/8. Seems a bit odd that this was done, and I'd love to know what the technical or operational or political advantage was. Maybe the IANA folks can shed more light?

From http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space:

049/8 Joint Technical Command May 94
Returned to IANA Mar 98
050/8 Joint Technical Command May 94
Returned to IANA Mar 98
...
214/8 US-DOD Mar 98
215/8 US-DOD Mar 98

Hi -

  214/8 and 215/8 seem to have been allocated to the U.S. DoD in ca. 1998.
There does seem to be a few sizeable announcements (which overlap a few
not-so-sizable ones), but I have to wonder if anyone can explain the
grounds on which they were allocated these two /8s, and which body
did the allocation.   Anyone?
