Well, since adding a simple option to IPv4 header would solve all address
space problems w/o any need to change core routing infrastructure (unlike
introduding v6) - I see little need to go for an entirely new L3 protocol.

      1) Is IPV4 approaching an addressing limitation?

allocation policies) the way
      IPV4 did when it was new?

If (1 & 2) => IPV6 is good
If (1 | 2) => undefined
If !(1 & 2) => who cares?
