It appears that Matt Hoppes <mattlists () rivervalleyinternet net> said:
At this point I would *love* to see IPv4 get extended, a software patch 
applied to devices, and IPv6 die a quick painless death.

The people at the IETF may be shortsighted, but not *that* shortsighted.
If adding 16 more /8's would have been enough, they would have done it.

But anyone with his or her eyes open knows that's silly.  IPv6 certainly
has its problems but it's the only bigger address space we've got.

R's,
