I agree Mikael.. It was an interessting discussion (and quite funny) but 
we should get back to topic.
If you want other concepts of address allocation you are free to write a 
draft. IPv6 has enough space for these kinds for experiments ;)


I'm sure that some companies oder universities will give back parts for 
their ip space but this doesn't scale.
Sure - I've got a few /24 as reserve at my faculty, but giving it back 
is nearly impossible. And I'm lucky that I have that reserve: more and 
more clients are using wireless (I don't want NAT), I get projects like 
BigData on my desk and so on..


The only way is ipv6 and as Gert said "lots of pains, costs and tears" 
will await those who aren't ready for ipv6.
Hetzner might be one of the first but many companies will get to this 
problem and IPv4 will get expensive. Maybe this way we get the pressure 
(or "business value") needed for a fast(er) IPv6 migration.
