Actually, the greatest cost may be trying to keep full connectivity
when your peers are handing you routes from this weeks numerous
IPv4 remnants, and you can't turn 'em down because you're doing
the same to them...

Hopefully, most will perceive the pain a few years ahead of time,
since it's otherwise a little late to be thinking about starting
deployment of IPv6.
