Globally we were burning through about a /8 every month or two in "the good old days." So in the best case scenario we'd get 32 more months of easy to get IPv4, but at an overwhelming cost to re-implement every network stack.

This option was considered back in the early 2000's when I was still involved in the discussion, and rejected as impractical.
