Agreed.  Renumbering for large deployments like the one I am familiar with
are related to the necessity to manage the network, growth and other
access network related dynamics.

This is an expensive exercise, and I would venture to say most operators
would only do it based on necessity.

Although we don't like it, some amount of renumbering will occur (hard to
same how much just yet given there are some differences with IPv6 vs. IPv4
related to addressing).
