There isn't an actual problem here which needs a solution, satisfactory, or otherwise. The persistence of the "17 planes may not be enough" meme on this list is an interesting phenomenon in itself, but has no practical impact on any of the actual ongoing work on maintenance of the encoding standards.

But yes, there may be Martian alligators living in the sewers. Keep calm and carry on.
