You'd need translations everywhere - you couldn't just "let the router decide", the end nodes would need to support this as well.
( Let's say we had IPvIII, consisting of just three bytes per address: 10.1.2 - and now we went from that to 10.1.2/24, i.e. 10.1.2.0-255. How does the router to know that an IPvIII client is requesting 10.1.2.15 ? It doesn't. The extension from IPv4 to IPv4+ is equivalent.)
