I also just got a fresh box of popcorn. I will sit by and wait for Jeroen to do a business analysis and tell me the return on investment. (Assuming that he can find any legal grounds for demanding return of legacy /8 allocations.)
All of the analysis results I have seen mention figuratively beating oneself [..painfully..] with combat boots. Running out of IP addresses is not a soon realized scenario for IPv6. If an organization runs out of IP addresses, the difficulty is with top management, not the network or address space. I think this is a many-iterated discussion, also know by some as a "rathole".
