Interesting, but doesn't matter, v4 is dead, get over it (as you
eloquently explained previously)

No, that'd just give people an excuse to put off v6 for even longer.

v6 or die.

You're not allocating it to them so it doesn't matter what point
you see.

Back when it may have been of use I agreed, space allocated for non
internet use could have been considered a different non overlapping
realm and the entire space used on the internet regardless of any
private allocations for non internet use. However that wasn't how it
was chosen to be done and again it no longer matters as it's history
now.
