i think you assume that ARIN's IPv4 services will change in some major
way when that happens. i don't believe the memebership would want that
change and the IPv6 fees at that point would cover maintanence of those
'legacy' systems.  i'd imagine ripping the IPv4 components would be more
costly than just maintaining them after any sort of: ipv4 runout of
addresses by ARIN, ipv6 eclipse of ipv4, ipv4 runout of addresses by
IANA, etc.

i would want to see the same level of service provided. no difference
between legacy pre-ARIN holders and paid members.
