Nah, RFC1918 reserved address spaces and NAT ensure ridiculous levels
of internal scalability.  It's an ugly administrative nightmare, but
very much possible.  And with the right public-facing services
infrastructure, it's possible to obscure tens of thousands of servers
behind a single IPv4 address.  As an industry, we have yet to plumb
the true depths of IP address space management.  And until we do,
where's the incentive to push for v6 adoption?
