In case my opinion on this was not obvious (I received some private e-mail
concerning doubts): I'm very much opposed to breaking PMTUd or traceroutes
by using RFC1918 addresses on links.

(If you can get your routers to source ICMPs from global addresses, then
I have no issue with the RFC1918 part on the transfer networks - but ICMP 
is important, and breaking it is bad).
