I honestly am not trying to be a troll. It's just everytime I glance over the IANA IPv4 Address Space Registry I feel rather annoyed about all those /8s that were assigned back in the day without apparently realising we might run out.
It was explained to me that many companies with /8s use it for their internal network and migrating to 10/8 instead is a major pain.
Running out of IP addresses is not a soon realized scenario for IPv6. If an organization runs out of IP addresses, the difficulty is with top management, not the network or address space.
I also don't try to bash IPv6, I don't know enough about it yet to do that and I doubt I would. From a casual observer's point of view having that much more IP space to allocate can only be a good thing. But from the same observer's POV you can also reason it is taking very long to gain acceptance.
