I think in aliases it still generates a list of all of the addresses anyway. DOH!
Jep it does. It's just my inner monk/fanatic, that - with growing age - finds things like 172.20.12.64/26 much more satisfying then having a list of .60-.120 to set up as DHCP range and to have an alias to include the whole DHCP-range. Nothing wrong with using Aliases with .x-.y to auto-generate the list of IPs though, just my brain telling me "NO, that's much cleaner and more in line!"
Also it is really practical when it comes to routing things via system routing table or IPsec P2 thingies to have them in CIDR boundaries but yeah, I totally get the decimal usage. Even still have it myself in my IOT VLAN with the whole bunch of WiFi Plugs and LEDs. The still have an order like 100-119 are plugs, 120-129 are dual-plugs, 150-159 are LEDs... yeah my brain hates and loves me for it

It is interesting that we haven't taken to using pairs of hexadecimal values.
Actually... emm... I have - with IPv6 addresses and prefixes Also matching trying to match those with IPv4 private IP counterparts for easier debugging and such...
sigh
