<?> IMHO wrong.
The only real selling point for IPv6 is "there is no IPv4 anymore".
So my p.o.v. is - waste IPv4, as fast as possible. Probably even make it 
easier to get.

What's the whole point in delaying the End-Of-IPv4 much further (it's 
not even crititcal at the moment btw, still enough there for years to 
come) if there is real&working IPv6 out there nowerdays?

And anyways, makes no sense - this will only make work harder for LIRs 
and Hostmaster, hence more expensive, and probably even worsen all the 
NAT idiocy out there - or just increase the amount of lies to RIPE NCC.

...my 0.02EUR, not considering possible problems lack of "fresh" IPv4 
space will cause ("you can have my /24 for 500000 bucks on ebay!!!"), 
but that's a general problem regardless of WHEN it runs out.
