If you have read this thread, you might have noticed that people *do* care.

It's just not very clear what can be done, at this point in time, which
will have a positive effect.

There's lots of things that can be done that have negative effects
(like, etra bureaucracy, which increases costs, which then leads to
complaints about, well, bureaucracy) but have very little effect on
the problem statement: networks getting "more than one /24" for the
same entity.

The problem statement is not as clear cut as it might seem... if a parent 
company opens a new subsidiary in every european country, which has their 
own network, budget, CEO... shouldn't they be entitled to have a LIR 
account and a /24 for each subsidiary?


... and, of course, it's not like we haven't been telling people since
15+ years that IPv4 is going to run out, and they should use IPv6.
