Maybe when we cut over to IPv6 the ISPs will revert to the golden age of putting all their gear on publicly addressable space :)
Conversely, an enjoyable network design is where you route public IPs from a private network to a private network, and the public IP has different services on the internet to the internally routed version, but clients need access to both. NATing heaven.
