Excuse my intrusion in this higher-than-my-desire-to-argue level of
discussion, but...

Remember X.400? An arguably better designed, better specified and
documented protocol than SMTP, yet it failed miserably.

Why? Because the intents were malicious.

Humans seek freedom. And even when they appear to bend under governance
"for the greater good", they still continue to seek freedom.

It is indeed appropriate to remove the dogmatism in this discussion and
replace it with common sense.

The common sense says this initiative will fail. It also says this will
be yet another good example, which will be ignored, as usual.
For it is in human nature to try to demonstrate you are better (choice)
than the other guy/gal (nothing to do with technology).

Yep, I know.. ;)

PS: In any case, do not mind being enlightened about the subtle
political differences between IPv6 and IPv4 address space management. To
my engineer mind, both are numbers. Might be the size difference creates
a new dimension?
