Uh.... that would be 12 left -- 7 general distribution and 5 reserved for the
global end allocation policy.

That's 5%, not 5 /8s.

So, if your company is not doing IPv6 yet, you really are really getting

(PS: There seems to be a trend for people calling themselves"IPv6

in the 6bone/early-RIR allocs you are not a pioneer as you are 10 years
late)
