The map also does a good job showing why we need to do away with multicast/class E and reuse the address space.

At this point, time would be better spent moving to IPv6, don't you think?

The problem is that you can't really move completely to IPv6. You actually will have to run both IPv4 and IPv6 networks indefinitely. Which isn't a lot of fun.

Now, yes. But eventually, we'll reach a tipping point where that isn't necessary. When? Your guess is as good as mine.

"You actually will have to run both IPv4 and IPv6 networks *indefinitely*."

Sure you can. You can do it today even, let alone in some unspecified number of years.
