No. If we find that 2000::/3 is not enough, we've botched things badly through poor choices made today.
Yup. Just think about the 6bone address space. It's a bit unlikely that the address space gets exhausted, but it just might that at some point we would start thinking, "gee.. we really allocated these addresses badly. let's start from scratch. *those who already got addresses from the old block need to renumber*" It's not so much exhaustion I'm worried about, it's the huge amount of crap (which we later might call "legacy allocations") we could end up with. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
