Say everyone who doesn't "need" a LEGACY /8, by your estimation, gives them back. Then what do we do when those are gone?

Seriously, should we be bolting aftermarket mods on our Datsun to get it another fifty miles or should we just buy a new bus already and get it overwith? Yeah, not everyone fits in the new bus, and that's the problem, but we've been in this dire boat for a long time.

I've seen firsthand how Apple uses 17/8. Asking Apple to renumber that is completely futile. You might as well deploy IPv7, for as much effort it will take. Better to just advance the state of the art instead of squeezing another few days out of IPv4.

Fortunately there is a market where they can sell the parts they don't need. It could make for a nice quarterly bump if they ever do it.
