Comment 1 Giovanni Campagna 2014-02-13 18:36:20 UTC 
Is there anything still using classful routing these days?

That is, the only place where the classful netmask is correct is 192.168 (/24). 10/8 is too big and rarely used as a whole, and on the public internet you need CIDR.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:01:23 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
