I see those bits being used in production happen but I seriously do not like the idea of giving IPv4 even more time.

  A single /8 isn’t going to meaningfully impact the exhaustion issues IPv4 faces. I believe it was APNIC a couple of years ago who said they were already facing allocation requests equivalent to an /8 a month. It’s part of the reason hand-wringing over some of the “wasteful” /8s that were handed out to organizations in the early days is largely pointless. Even if you could get those orgs to consolidate and give back large useable ranges in those blocks, there’s simply not enough there to meaningfully change the long term mismatch between demand and supply.

  This /8 won’t make a dent in that problem. Until every single device is capable of IPv6, IPv4 will continue to persist.

    I mean, all of the devices already support v6. The problem is providers and services not deploying it and software ignoring it's existence.

    This point was the overarching point of my talk at netdevconf. We are going to need more ipv4.
