Exactly that.

Back then the “big old evil LIRs” voted to give themselves smaller blocks
even though they could justify larger ones for their demand. Everything
was done to stretch out IPv4 just a little bit longer so that people
could still get addresses and might get the idea that they SHOULD use
IPv6.

Didn’t happen. What happened was that people tried to game the system to
get more IPv4 so they could sell it later on.

The RIPE NCC and RIPE community did their best to guarantee a fair
distribution with the limited resources they had. And the people
that took advantage of that didn’t do that by mistake, they did that
because of greed.

So please keep your alternate history out of this discussion.


Best Regards
