To which Paul responds....
CIDR is a hell of a lot more than a band-aid. It extends the life of
IP v4 for an indiscriminate amount of time, and while v6 may be just
indeterminate <-- Intended?
around the corner [according to some sources], the same type of CIDR
mechanisms will still be needed.
Heck of a BandAid... like a heart transplant.
Now if we could just get brain transplants....
