I'll play devils avocado.

I think that's fairly short-sighted. 1000 per person may seem enough now but
who knows in 30-40-50 years? Nano technology may see us need more? How about
an IP for every thread on your favourite jacket?

Obviously there has to be a limit - and I'm sure IPv6 will be enough™ - but
just because we don't think we'll use them all now, doesn't mean we wont ;)
