i lied, well have regretted the absoluteness of my statement.

i think the five /8s proposal (already passed in arin, lacnic, and
afrinic, apnic and ripe to go) is a wise one.  i think the proposal in
apnic for how to use that last /8 is a wise one which gives a path to
ensure new entrants can get enough v4 space to run nat-pt or whatever so
the transition can work without balkanization.

a few years back, i had a tee shirt made which says "running code and
run away before someone comes to help"
