IPv6 has its problems, but running out of addresses is not one of them. For those of us worried about abuse management, the problem is the opposite, even the current tiny sliver of addresses is so huge that techniques from IPv4 to map who's doing what where don't scale.
Well, in IPv4... NAT broke it, because networks implementing 1:many NAT could no longer easily identify what host was responsible for abuse. What do you mean by suggesting IPv4 abuse management techniques to map whose doing what, where do not scale to IPv6's larger address space? There's no reason you can't provide accurate WHOIS information with the larger address space..
