I’m sympathetic to those problems Igor. Everyone is. But the root cause of these problems has to be tackled. Burning through the last reserves of IPv4 as a short-term workaround does not seem wise. It would be as pointless as putting a band-aid over an arterial bleed. The problems of outdated infrastructure and lack of resources would still be there after a more liberal allocation policy for the last /8 meant ALL of the remaining IPv4 was gone.
