*I* wasn't part of that "we" - and the math is a *little* bit different
here.

To answer Jon Lawrence on his "address space depletion worries": please
*do* the math, just once, and then stop this often repeated but invalid
argument.  There are 4 *billion* /32 prefixes.  Handing out (globally 
visible) /32s will not be a mistake because the *addresses* run out - the 
problem space is "number of AS numbers" and "number of routing table 
entries".

Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations:  71007  (66629)
