I think only one reason, which will really boost IPv6 adoption is real exhaustion of IPv4 pool within our (RIPE) region. I also would like to see a stronger IPv6 adoption, and reach the point where IPv6 packets become dominant (i.e. >50%) and at a later stage reach a point where IPv4 routers/services/everything could be disconnected because they weren't useful anymore.
Since there're happy-eyeball RFC implementations, it's somewhat harder to perform such measurments. But I think IPv6 adoption was boosted in regions, where IPv4 pool dried.
2019-02 proposal is just delay this (and allowing more newcomers to start their bussiness), nothing else. The core purpose of 2019-02 is to allow (more) newcomers to access a tiny bit of IPv4 address space so their (hopefully IPv6-enabled) infrastructure will have path to the IPv4-only world (without going to the market).
Yes, I understand this purpose and to be clear - I'm not against this proposal (that means, I support it). /24 allocations for newcomers are also used within ARIN region (since 2015 depletetion), so this cannot be any problem with such limitation within our (RIPE) region. - Daniel
