i doubt many people think transfers will save the ipv4 internet, let
alone the world.  imiho, they are a small thing that can be done to make
dealing with the self-inflited disaster a bit more flexible.  and making
them easy and open will improve the quality of our registration data.

perhaps it is my bad memory, but i have not heard anyone say that
transfer will be particularly fair.  i believe the proposals under
discussion are meant to address that.

i was particularly objection to your hyperbole on the likely price of a
/24.
