+By the same logic, ICANN should register 0.0.0.0/0, before it uses it.
+ICANN claims divine authority over 0.0.0.0/8, and allows people to use
+parts of it if they meet certain conditions set by the IETF and ICANN.
+The IETF conditions are reasonable if you don't assume that Internet

+=item Okay, you're not squatting, but now that 1.0.0.0/8 is being actively used on IcannNet, you should move to 10.0.0.0/8 to avoid conflicts.
+
+AnoNet is under no obligation to shrink its address space just because IcannNet decided to create a conflict.  Also, moving to 10.0.0.0/8 will create more conflicts than staying in 1.0.0.0/8 (since 10.0.0.0/8 is far more congested than 1.0.0.0/8 will ever be).

 That's not the only logical conclusion, based on the above.  However, AnoNet has no rules, so you're more than welcome to move to IPv6, and/or to try to convince others to do the same.  As long as you don't start out with unrealistic expectations, you probably won't be disappointed with the results of your preaching effort.  [Update: It appears that IPv6 may have some deployment on AnoNet, now.  (Maybe somebody read the above as a challenge and decided to run with it.)  Perhaps the guys using it will fill in some details here.]
