So, do your own homework, before complaining that others are not moving fast enough.
If you see a big truck coming at you fast, it's silly to wait for the moment when it turns aside.
If there is a problem, it must either be solved, or somehow avoid its consequences. And certainly not to push its solution into the future, of course, if we are not talking about death :-). Unfortunately, pushing the solution of problems into the future has long been the main trend not only in the NCC, but all over the world.
We saw the problem in early 199x and decided to invent IPv6 to solve it. Because it would not get deployed within a couple of years, we started with transition technologies like CIDR and NAT, do reduce the impact. Unfortunately some people are unwilling to solve the problem by implementing the intended and available solutions, instead they insist on ever increasing support from others to keep their technical debt. Even worse several new people assume, that the transition technologies are the way to go, because their environment (ISPs, colleagues, schools, universities, vendors, ...) are still too lazy to deal with IPv6. So and now please do your homework. We could switch RIPE mailing lists to IPv6 only in order to help you and others.
