Yes. It is outdated. IANA is responsible for IPv4 allocations. These
allocations change, and the reserved networks file needs to be updated
whenever allocations change. FIAIF uses the list of reserved networks to
guard againt IP spoofing.
You should run 'fiaif-update update' to retreive a new version of the
reserved networks file.
