Oh man, that's rich.  Do you actually believe that?

Welcome to the IETF, where dreams are made reality.

I particularly agree with Mark's final sentence, there - if renumbering is a problem, let's solve it.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of renumbering activity *is* automated, we've simply forgotten that it's already done. We've got autoconf, we've got DHCP, we have oodles of technology that's deployed already.

Dave.
