There is no fixing the lack of IPv4, just more band-aids. IPv4 has been scarce for the last 10 years that i have been in this industry. I remember one of my first jobs was assigning IP addresses to customers at an ISP .... and people on the other end of the phone throwing chairs in anger because they can't launch their web site until i received their detailed justification for more ipv4 addresses. That was 10 years ago. Yes, the issue before was people being lazy and not wanting to do the paper work or working the system (because IPv4 was scarce then too). Now, there is legitimately not enough space for folks to deploy IPv4 in fast growing edges of the network like M2M (this includes point of sale), mobile, cloud, and many other places.... and there is no time to get in thumb wrestling wars with ARIN over what is used where (boss wants it done yesterday) It will get worse before it gets better.
I think the appropriate phrase here is, "Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part."
