Comment (by nickm):

 I think that warning in these cases makes more sense than clamping
 silently.  If somebody says "a.b.0.0/8", I don't feel comfortable
 concluding that they obviously meant "a.b.0.0/16" instead of "a.0.0.0/8".

 >but the exit policy summary is simply reject *:*, which doesn't seem like
 it is correct. Is that a different bug, or this bug?

 Could be "no bug".  The rule for policy summaries is basically that if you
 reject a bunch of non-private_nets addresses on a port, you aren't
 summarized as supporting that port.
