I think that right now, we shouldn't be too concerned with "CIDRize or DIE!". At this point, we should be helping other entities out--you're not FORCING them to renumber by making their networks non-routable within one organization--you're screwing your customers out of optimal connectivity to any particular site.

The Internet has gotten too much away from the original purpose, to share information. It has gone to a vast commercial marketing symbol, where most companies really don't care about other entities--"Why should we help this group? They're customers of ISP X!"

That's all weel and good, but it certainly doesn't scale. Which is the entire problem. Sigh. - paul
