Sasha,

IPv4 will, undoubtedly, eventually run out. The question is, is it
going to be a soft landing for everybody, or a brutal crash.

Landing is usually not an operation during which one pushes motors
and invite passengers to detach seatbelts.

For everyone's safety I would expect from Ripe NCC, that this
process happens in an as controlled as possible manner, requiring
everyone's care and self-discipline, garbage-collecting as much
unused ressources as possible for those who need them, and requiring
every one to be more conservative than ever.

We have a "low regime" since last /8 policy is on. But what is that
fantasy all of a sudden, to relax measures that had been ruling or
everyday life since ages ?

I understand your wish : when landing is approaching I just can't
wait and I want it to be done because of some irrational fear deep
inside. But much more than I want to urge this, I want the pilot
to stay calm, everybody to sit and be quite, and nobody gets hurt.

Best regards,
Sylvain
