Is that really a good idea?
Long ago, I once proposed a policy at ARIN to try to extend the IPv4 runway.
One of the most common responses I received (including from several members of
ARIN's AC) was "let it run out naturally", with the rationale being either:
a) "it'll force people to move to IPv6"
b) "we spent a lot of money to prepare for IPv6 because we knew it was coming
soon, we don't want to give our competitors who fiddled the summer away more
time"
I suspect those people would answer "yes" (well, unless their opinions have
changed as reality starts biting).
