Not wishing to sound flippant, but the answer to that really is 'with some difficulty'. This is despite being in the fortunate position of holding a /8 IPv4 allocation (amongst other, smaller, ranges) in addition to widespread usage of (overlapping) RFC1918 address space.

> Do you actually have routing that needs more than 8 total IPv4 spaces?

I cannot answer that directly because it is, in my view, a false dichotomy as it is far more complicated a situation than that. Besides which, migration to IPv6 would be a wasted opportunity if it was rolled out and configured in exactly the same way as IPv4 given all the existing problems and constraints that would continue to persist.
