But apart from "critical infrastructure" there might maybe (or maybe i'm dreaming) come new technologies about that can enable a new&better transition mechanism and require a few IPv4 addresses. I think intention is to reserve for this rather than "critical infrastructure". I might be wrong. This is your chance to tell me ;-) >
