I honestly am not trying to be a troll. It's just everytime I glance over the IANA IPv4 Address Space Registry I feel rather annoyed about all those /8s that were assigned back in the day without apparently realising we might run out.
its well to remember that when they got that space, the minimum allocation was a /8. you couldn't get anything smaller because "classful" addressing wasn;t invented yet. Only (much) later could you get "B" or "C" space... and after classful died in v4, we had CIDR. IPv6 as effectively reindroduced classful addressing.
