from my perspective the time to prolong the IPv4 usage is over.
I agree.

[..] I, for one, have changed my mind on the
subject multiple times.
Even as I (have to) totally agree with Nico, too; the sad reality as I
had to observe it: For some reason some/many people are totally unaware
of the possibility of IPv4 transport via IPv6. Be it using MP-BGP or
nowadays Babel, too. This should get more "advertisement"/awareness.
But on the other hand: I have heard stories of unlucky sysadmins
maintaining totally broken/cluttered networks with no clear vision how
to enable IPv6, and they never got a proper address planning scheme and
they have to live with no more space in RFC1918. These people would
benefit of making 240/4 a configurable option.
I wish everyone a good fortnight, too, and stay safe!
