i suggest that it is not productive to spend bandwidth on the "you
should be using ipv6" religion.

yep. but there is a small problem. we are out of ipv4 space. there
ain't no more.

it would save a lot of shouting if you (and yuri and ...) read the
discussion of the last/8 proposal so we do not have to repeat it; many
of us have too damned much real work to do to spend time repeating old
discussions. it boiled down to
o ipv4 is essentially gone, we need to get over it
o if the last /8 was left in the allocation pool, it would be gone
in a small number of weeks and we would be back to "ipv4 is gone"
o so, ipv4 is essentially gone, we need to get over it
o if we do the one minimal allocation for a new LIR, it will let new
entrants at least run a NAT
o but ipv4 is essentially gone, we need to get over it
o so some greedy animals will fight over the scraps. that's life
o bottom line, ipv4 space is gone, we need to get over it
it seems we may have underestimated the destructive aspects of the
greedy phase. ah well.
