i think we should start a betting pool.

when the last /8s are given to the rirs by iana, X percent of traffic in
bits/sec measured at some easy point (say linx, amsix, or de-cix).

i take X=6.  yes, i am an optimist.

and i do not believe that any amount of screaming, twisted policies,
threats, ... will change this at all significantly, just as it does not
for bcp 38, dns vulnerability patching, ...  there are the folk who do
things and the folk who don't.

transfer is one of the few things we can do in the address policy space
which may actually make a difference, albeit not a large one, but still
a difference.
