On one hand, we have a literal ip spacing crisis

I've been hearing about the IPv4 shortage for ages... hasn't happened yet.

    And IPv6 exists. If even a portion of large orgs switch to IPv6 for their internet exposed interfaces, the "problem" goes away.

    (I've been hearing about the shortage since 1995...and it hasn't happened. Large orgs will always find a way to resolve issues like this that affect them).

    No, it's happened. You basically can't buy IPv4 addresses any more. Want to start up a hosting company or ISP? Better hope you know someone willing to sell, or you're going to be paying through the nose to a broker.
