I’d rather these run out even faster so we can just get on with IPv6. Why waste effort on these dying gasps of v4.

  Because the 'dying gasps' has a really long tail. My guess that that everyone in this forum will be dead before 25% of the internet is IPv6 only. There's a huge difference between supporting IPv6 and not supporting IPv4; the latter will take much much longer.

    I don’t mean killing IPv4 - I mean all infrastructure and ISPs supporting IPv6 and treating IPv4 as legacy. Like V12 gasoline engines. They exist and are even produced today but the world has pretty much abandoned them.

Google[1] thinks we're at ~22% world wide, and we've gained ~2% in the last 6 months, so I really hope not.
