Problem #1: The allocation method was unfair.
"Fairness" is a remarkably mercurial concept which has little or no meaning in an environment of plenty. It's much easier to talk about "unfairness": which is the state of mind of candidate A, when candidate B receives preferential treatment. Just look at squabbling children and their exquisitely honed sense of personal injustice. I would suggest that - regardless of the rules set up now - there will be a lot of "unfairness" and "injustice" of this sort once address space exhaustion hits. Nick
