Couldn't we spare a single extra /8 for airplanes to use?
Though I suppose it's not worth it when you can hit 'reboot'.

How about "we" use IPv6 instead, and nobody runs out of address space ever again?
Wouldn't this mean we have to power cycle the whole internet at the same time? Instead of supporting both which means no IPv6 in the near future
I would vote for a once a year internet holiday. It would bring minor mental wellbeing improvements, coerce important industries and systems to exercise redundancy pathways, provide opportunities to have such a cutover like switching to IPv6, and remind a million petty tyrant product managers that no, our goddamned fart app does not need 6 9s of reliability.
100 bucks says IPv6 would still not get implemented. We need legislation at this point. There's enough stubborn assholes in the networking infrastructure industry just refusing to do their job for it to happen by itself. They will insist they need to save a few thousand bucks and hold the whole damn world back.
