Agreed. However, scope of the document is seemingly wrong. Surely, it's important to document how wrongly IPv4 and IPv6 was architected against renumbering. But, it is simply impossible to add work to IPv4 or IPv6 to make renumbering feasible. What we need for the future Internet is a clean slate approach to define new IP, definitely not toooooo complicated IPv6. That's another reason not to deploy IPv6 but to migrate from IPv4 directly to something else. Mean while, NAT, including End to End NAT, which is transparent end to end, will help us to preserve IPv4 address space for next 10 or 20 years. > I've read the > document, and I believe it is complete and correct (the title > summarizes the conclusion quite nicely).

As is discussed recently in DNS WGs that making DNS message size larger with EDNS is virtually impossible, it is virtually impossible to change widely deployed improper implementations.
