I am curious. Once we're nearing exhausting all IPv4 space will there
ever come a time to ask/demand/force returning all these legacy /8

running out of IPs is also a difficult issue. :-)
For some reason I sooner see all IPv4 space being exhausted than IPv6
being actually implemented globally.

I've got a rather stupidly simple and straightforward plan, since we're
all throwing ideas out.
Take back all the IP space from China and give them a single /20 and
tell them to make do. They're already behind a great firewall, so they
should have no problem using NAT with their citizens for easier
restricting of freedoms, and for the actual services they need to run,
they can assign a limited amount of static IP addresses for servers, and
the rest NAT as well, and port forward for specific services.
If they want to be an intranet, I say, lets help them achieve that goal.
They get to play in their own sandbox, and we get some IP space back
to buy us more time.
