Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) did _not_ supersede class-based IP
address ranges in 1993. However, that is also one reason why IPv4 addresses
are about to run out [1], why registries are beginning to assign non-class-
based ranges [2], and why ultimately migration to IPv6 is important to the
continued operation of the Internet.

I refer you to <http://www.iana.org/numbers> pp. to clarify your
misconceptions.
