It'd end when we implement a next generation IP addressing scheme. I'm not very big fan of IPv6 though. I'd prefer a 64-bit address format. IPv6 would only promote incautious distribution which would again result in address space exhaustion, more abuse and increased cybercrime.
Interesting. What about ipv6 don't you like, and why would a 64-bit scheme remedy it?

There are more ipv6 addresses than there are atoms in the earth. Exhaustion won't be a concern for generations.
>more abuse and increased cybercrime.
IP address-based mitigations are already not effective with v4, can you talk about why v6 makes this worse?
