Why is this policy needed if "only a single IPv6 allocation exceeds a

If we're about 10 years into serious use of IPv6, and have used one /16,
then we have about 80,000 years before this becomes an urgent issue for
ARIN, and 650,000 years before we'll run out. Yes, those extrapolations
are dumb, but so is arguing over how many millennia of runway we have.
Meanwhile, in the 1970s: "You've got to be kidding! The sun will run out
of hydrogen long before we will ever come close to having a need for
four billion of these."
