We can always weather out the IPv4  exhaustion by going back to UUCP
for e-mail delivery, file transfer;  better be sure to grab the source
code in advance just in case.

If the worst happens... get a few /24 microallocations for UUCP relays
 as critical infrastructure on whatever's left of the net,  so we can
perform modem dialin from wherever, and uploads our proposals to
Usenet, for restoring sanity to the tarred remains of the
internets....  <EG>
