You might respond that the internet would adapt by changing the ULPs to better make use of IPv4. E.g. we could make NAT friendly transport protocols:

 - Add a "Internal host ID" field to ULP headers, like TCP.
 - Increase the range of the flow^Wport ID

I've expanded on this at:

Yeah, it's probably a bit crackful, but it's at least interesting to consider what could happen if NAT "sticks" -> what kind of "small" hacks could develop, and where could they go.
