The trouble with v4 today is not scarcity. This is largely due to the 
policy, in recent years, of conservation over aggregation but that has 
resulted in it's own problems, like large routing tables, 
un-aggregateable prefixes, etc. 

I somehow find it hard to envision a situation where IPv6 conservation 
may become an issue, be it in 20 years or 50 - fragmented address space 
is IMO the far more pressing issue...

Not getting in on this one...
