<quote>you've moved the legacy 32-bits from a suffix, in one corner of the address space, to a prefix. So you don't actually fix the exhaustion problem, because now there are far more addresses, but they're still all allocated to someone already. So your whole plan just wastes everybody's time. Ouch.</quote>
Wait, could you back up and step through that again for me? I fail to see why more addresses is not a step in the right direction, even if they are "already allocated to someone". Reallocate, maybe? Share maybe?
I'm labelling your argument "bifuraction" for the time being.

by making the address space larger I allow all the entities that have IP addresses to have a lot more.
yes, my plan favors the established ISPs who have IP addresses as each IP address they currently have becomes a class A network (or larger), but in practice you have to get the established ISPs agreement anyway before you can use any IP addresses (they have to agree to peer with you and accept your advertisement), so I don't see this as a major problem
