Perpetuating IPv4?

[Aveek Datta]

I've looked over the new proposal and website, and overall I also feel
that its definitely a great improvment over the original one. However
one question still remains. Isn't ARIN's plan perpetuating IPv4 and
the starvation of IPs that will result? While I do not personally know
much about IPv6 or IPv8, it does seem that at least the former is coming
of age and might be useable in the not so far future.

Is ARIN's plan to continue to 'stick' with IPv4 as long as possible,
basically "rationing" out IP addresses? Or is there any plans to switch
to systems with less starvation problems?

I apologize if I'm missing a crucial step here; my knowledge of IP comes
from discussions on domain names that go off-topic. :)
