It wasn't a trap; you just misread/glossed over. Happens all. the. time.
Thus, no need to get into a snit. Just admit your mistake and get on with life.
What's so tricky about The very large company that I work for
You do realize that such careless distribution of IPv4 addresses in the early days
You apparently don't realize that the 10/8 range is reserved as private address space, and therefore it's impossible to carelessly distribute the 10/8 range.
The very large company that I work for, with one of the oldest domain names, has a *huge* 10/8 network (16+ million IP addresses), and it ain't broken.
There's no valid need to switch to IPv6.
Never. IPv6 would have to be demonstrably better *everywhere*, even in un-upgradable legacy embedded systems. (Even now, there are plenty of places where horses and donkeys are used because cars can't go or are impractical.)
Even the answer to the question when will IPv4 become obsolete? is "A long, *long* time from now" because it's simple, Just Works, and is pervasive.
(If there was no NAT or unroutable IP ranges like 10/8 then IPv6 uptake would have happened a lot sooner.)
IOW, vaporware.
Gotta love context-free quotes!!

[That interpretation of my comment] is, of course, ridiculous because the business we were in was making PCs, and almost from the start I had them at home and my wife played Scrabble with time-sharing machines, and my sixth-grade son was networking the MIT computers and the DEC computers together, hopefully without doing mischief, using the computers I had at home. Home computers were a natural continuum of the "personal computers" that people had at work, in the laboratory, in the military.
Too bad that "640K ought to be enough for anyone" was an urban legend.
It's *not* the chopsticks that are agile; it's the joints *behind* the chopsticks.
Likewise, beaks *can't* be agile. But their tongues and necks can.
manipulating things with its beak.
How much of the dexterity comes from the tongue?
Beaks have *one* joint. How the hell they be agile?
Someone isn't considering how incredibly expensive that a copper+titanium refrigerator will be.
Hey, I didn't say anything -- much less anything nasty -- about that small mistake...
the difference from the World's average is not so big as many people may thin(k)
I'm sure it's not for trying!!
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.
