Deprecating IPv4 is not a path to progress - it is a recipe for fragmentation and exclusion.
The fragmentation and exclusion is here already. A cartel of companies with IPv4 resources is excluding any new players from entering the market, as they cannot obtain the resources required to operate an ASN. Setting a sunset date is a reasonable and proportionate step forward. Countries like the Czech Republic have already set a date. Is RIPE going to wait until outside pressures force us, or are we going to take steps to move the Internet forward for its members and the world. Sitting on our hands isn't a strategy.
