No allocation system can operate when there is higher demand than supply;
the only difference between free and central markets is that a free market
will self-correct as long as demand is elastic -- central markets simply
fail and lead to revolution (see also: USSR).

...except the requirements for IPv6 PI space are even more draconian than
for IPv4.  Consensus in the IPng WG saying it's reasonable to expect
customers to renumber several times per year because it's so "easy" with
IPv6, therefore "nobody" will want private or PI space anymore.

These folks make ARIN look like knights in shining armor.
