Policy is only about operational problems (filtering by operators, for

It is completely unrealistic. Do you really expect the European ccTLD

<troll>Change the policy to disallow any new IPv4 allocation and
assignment. After all, IPv6 works, technically speaking, so it is
"just an operational problem" now, do not create convoluted policies
because of IPv4 addresses scarcity.</troll>
