Like we have Addresses to Distribute :-) - the IPv4 run-out has fairly
fundamental consequences for the environment in which we operate, and
at least one of the pillars of RFC2050 ("conservation") is not exactly
relevant anymore.

I consider RFC2050 a very useful document to establish principles, but it 
can not be binding - and in doubt, the bottom-up community based process
will win.
