[address-policy-wg] 2019-02 New Policy Proposal (Reducing IPv4 Allocations to a /24)

That is an option. But in order to not punish late entries to the
market, it should also include a fixed timeframe when EVERYBODY has to
stop using v4 (at least on the public Internet) ... I don't see any
technical reason why providers all over the world still aren't able (or
willing) to do v6 ... of course I know you can't force customers to
provide services on v6 (or even to use v6 - I believe of our customers,
maybe 1% actively use v6, and another few percent use it unknowingly :) ).
>From our point of view, we could drop external v4 pretty quickly if it
weren't required to reach (or be reached) by v4-only users/services ...
