I haven't seen discussion of how the policy of RIRs being able to
transfer space between themselves is going to affect the "end of the
world" numbers. Have I missed something?

And FWIW, Tony brought some of his early work on this topic to me when I
was at IANA in 2004, and even those initial projections were scarily
accurate. :)
