I know you wrote those figures to be provocative, Steve. :-)
I mean, 50 years? That's like saying "computers will still run on valves in
50 years' time" in 1950.
Of course this is a matter of appreciation, and frankly, does it really
matter how long IPv4 will be around?
Let's worry at the future, not the past.
Kindest regards,
