So you can remember, what, 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8? We can have equivalents in v6.

There are 1.8x10¹⁹ networks and 3.4x10³⁸ IPv6 addresses. This is not a consideration. For comparison, some estimates place the number of stars in the universe at 10^28.

Sure, I'm aware. It was an answer for a layman. We're still talking about inconceivably large numbers here. If the standard allocation strategy remains /48s, 1/8th of (to account for the /3) 2⁴⁸ is plenty big enough for every organization ever imaginable to get one.

I'm someone who thinks the allocation strategy is hugely wasteful and conceptually similar to allocating "class A" blocks to everyone who wanted one all those years ago. IPv6 still has plenty of room.
