This statement is inaccurate and should be revised. IPv4 depletion
statistics/estimates existed in 2011. Go to potaroo.net, and you will
find stats/presentations of AFRINIC's exhaustion ETA, together with
that of other regions.

This is also inaccurate. While the old proposal had a reserve pool, it
was for unforseen circumstance. New entrants were a known at the time,
so we can't bundle new entrants in there.

Meanwhile, I recall the number of times a company can get additional
allocations/assignments being a major bone of contention/loophole. I
don' seem to see how this policy addresses that. Or did I miss
something.
