Assignments to end-users will likely continue to be "needs"-based. Owing
to the very scarcity of the resource, a LIR has an interest to make
the IPv4 space they still have last as long as possible (and,
presumably, to sell it as dearly as possible, too)
The Invisible Hand will take care of this one...

It is *exactly* the right time. IPv4 is gone.

Just to spare a *lot* of unproductive paperwork. Which, in all honesty,
is 90% lies anyway. I want to run networks, not concoct documentation
that will make a RA happy.
