[New-bugs-announce] [issue17400] ipaddress.is_private needs to take into account of rfc6598

[Lei Miao]

New submission from Lei Miao:

Currently: ipaddress.IPv4Network('100.64.1.0/24').is_private == False


Given RFC6598, 100.64.0.0/10 is now approved for use as CGN space, and also for rfc1918-like private usage. Could the code be altered so that is_private will return true for 100.64.0.0/10 as well??
