By APNIC. Cisco did, too, btw. And they weren't first, either. Nor is this  
going to be the last time someone suggests it.

To paraphrase Curran (since he's not popping by to say it), it's a lot of  
work that ultimately yields a small amount of space that's STILL going to  
run out. 16 /8's won't fix the problem.

Just deploy IPv6 already. Sure, there's plenty to complain about -- and we  
do complain! -- but it's what we have.
