Because address markets didn’t exist, it is speculative to comment about what
Jon would have thought, and it is a bit cheeky to invoke his name in this way.
I can only tell you that my experience was that Jon was a pragmatist and lived
with the world as it was, as all good scientists do. As a young idealistic
brat, I was more of an architectural purist, and so I went head to head with
him on the allocation of 10/8, and his response was classic: write an RFC that
explains the problems, to advance the state of the art. I dearly wish he could
have lived to work on these issues with us.
