This is not about IPv4 life-support.

Seriously?

Seriously.

The birth of a shared CGN space in no significant way extends the life
of IPv4. It does provide the best possible solution to a necessary
evil (CGN inside addresses).

This is about providing the best answer to a difficult problem.

The best answer is to make sure that CPEs that will be doing CGN can
handle the same 1918 space inside the user network and at the CGN layer.

Are you volunteering to buy everyone on earth a new CPE? If not, who
do you suggest will? My bet is that no one is willing to drop the
billions of dollars required - if they were, we could just sign
everyone up for IPv6 capable CPE and skip the whole debate... ;)
