Aehem, a fixed threshold to give them a reasonable IPv4 footprint would do. 
But this is a quick answer, again. Proper engineering is needed, not 
to end in dead ends.

Definitely.

I agree with Peters comment, to think about "fairness" and "sustainability". 
But the latter, IHMO contradicts with Randy's comment, that IPv4 has no future 
(to which I agree also).

In the first of Sander's questions, there were no one favouring IPv6 
requirements with IPv4 allocations, so that's out of scope right now, UNLESS 
we're reopening that topic again (which I won't do).

What's left over, is to look into the "fairness", which is achieved partly, 
that I request and monitor, that everybody still requesting IPv4 plays by the 
rules: For allowing "sustainability" for a couple of years, everybody has to 
deploy multiplexing techniques for newly allocated adress ranges.

[This might introduce IPv6 requirements through a backdoos, as deploying 
multiplexing techniques may prove as expensive as migrating to IPv6, or even 
more.]
