So how do we get there?

I think we tried "preaching" for a very long time (did not work),
"help with procurement policies so at least equipment vendors get
the message" (did work to some extent), "mandating" (US Govt, but
enterprises will only take note for those bits that they want to
sell to the US Govt)...

The market has tried "make IPv4 insanely expensive", and corporate
mergers/acquisitions have tried "make IPv4 operationally very hard,
with packets going through 3 NAT44 devices *inside* the corp network",
and even that has failed to send the message "IPv4 has no future".

So, what else can we do?
