Sure you can, just add a 5th digit to your IPv4 addresses to make them
last longer.

The point is: assuming that there are "great masses of unused IPv4 space"
is delusional.  

There *is* unused IPv4 space, but even if someone would be willing to pay 
for the efforts of reclaiming it, it will not last for "multiple years to 
come" but would be gone again in a few months if handed out freely - but, 
to point this out, in the RIPE region the current IPv4 policy will still 
be "every LIR can only get a single(!) /22 out of this".

It's not like people haven't been told for 10+ years that they should
prepare for the IPv4 run-out and deploy IPv6 - and lots of people have
already done that.
