 sounds just like folks in 1985, talking about IPv4...

The foundation of that, though, was ignorance of address space 
exhaustion.  IPv4's address space was too small for such large thinking. 
 IPv6 is far beyond enough to use such allocation policies.

        when concevied, IPv4 was unimaginably large ...  /8's were
        handed out to networks with fewer than 10 devices.    Hindsight
        is 20/20.
