Tony, my sense is that the hard part is not places *within one's own
organization* where one's addresses are stored, but rather in *other
organizations*; e.g. entries in *their* firewalls. Can those with
experience confirm/deny this?

If the system routing (which is not, after all, the property of any one
organization) collapses, it's not just the ISP's who will suffer.

Yes, but the whole point of PA space is that generally organizations using
them *don't* each have a separate entry in the DFZ; with PI space, *every*
organization *does*.

Yes, those shelves upon shelves of 3-letter boxes at all my local
electronics stores don't exist. And all the millions of them deployed in
the network don't exist either. Speaking of "living in that dream
world".... :-)
