Oh man, that's rich. Do you actually believe that?
Welcome to the IETF, where dreams are made reality.
I particularly agree with Mark's final sentence, there - if
renumbering is a problem, let's solve it.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of renumbering activity
*is* automated, we've simply forgotten that it's already done. We've
got autoconf, we've got DHCP, we have oodles of technology that's
deployed already.
