Hi, 

Yup yup, l I was being generous, no use whinging about how every new architecture just grabbed easiest from what they googled, there’s a lot of new space and  enterprises are looking for help. (At least some in the organisations who are looking at forecasting future projects) 

it’s a great opportunity to start renewed. Easiest may be to not agonise over how much legacy to bring forward and just start fresh and make the old have to update  Imho

RIPE, while I believe their position is they are not the enforcers for every implementor or and don’t fall subject to new eu critical infrastructure regulation as global, still hold a lot of advisory kudos in this space. 

Will be an interesting study / paper.

If you have ever looked at (large) enterprise IPv4 networks, you know
that you do not need to "suspect".  It's broken beyond any imagination,
usually, with lots of internal NAT44, duplicate use of RFC1918 segments
("every kubernetes cluster has the same 10.x.0.0/16 subnet, because that's
how automated deploymet works - and besides, it's the only /16 available
out of 10/8!").

Going from there to IPv6 would bring immense benefits in the medium to
long term - but in the short term, it's "extra work!" and "nobody has
time!", and also "nobody cares, these are costs that people have become
used to" (and that's the worst bit of all).
