Just do the math, please.<br>

All these arguments have been brought forward hundreds and thousands of<br>
times in the last 20 years, by people who were just too lazy to run the<br>
numbers.<br>
<br>
I am willing to reconsider my position if we hit 50% utilization of FP001<br>
in my lifetime (*and* buy everyone a beer who comes and says "told you <br>
so!"). In this very unlikely event (MATH!), we have burned through <br>
half of 1/8 of the overall address space, and have 14 more tries to <br>
make a more restrictive policy.<br>
