Yeah I admire all of the efforts people are proposing, but they are bailing out a sinking ship with a spoon.
Let's say we claw back /8 networks somehow and let's say we can free up one of those /8 networks per year. Pretty optimistic.
The allocation rate for /8 networks from IANA after conservation measures were put in place was still 5 /8 networks per year. Even if we conserved IP addresses five times better than that, this would still merely freeze the current situation for a few until we run out once again.
There is just no amount of crumb picking that can fix the fact that 32 bits are woefully inadequate.
