Now that we're getting down to the bottom of the IPv4 barrel, the 
amount of documentation and justification needed to get v4 addresses from 
the RIRs has increased.  Expect any v4 requests to be scrutinized closely.
This is not news, and at this point, it should not come as a surprise to

IPv6 address blocks are pretty easy to get ;)
