[rpd] LACNIC reaches final /10 of IPv4 space

[Noah Maina]

"IPv6 Content" is a mis-leading phrase and we as netizens should refrain
from using it..

The servers have Ethernet ports. The OS's that run on them support both v4
and v6 protocols. The applications aka Content seats at layer above 2 and
3.... Content providers choose to only enable a single protocol across the
wire, IPv4 and ignore the other sweet one IPv6.

So in a nutshell, if both protocols could be preconfigure on the gate go,
then same content would be accessible via both protocols.

So please, lets drop this phrase, "There is no IPv6 Content"
