> Not sure why you'd need more than 10/8

Large organizations have moved to IPv6 because they, and everyone else, are using 10/8, and so when mergers and acquisitions happen trying to connect the networks together becomes a nightmare.

See this talk from Wells Fargo as an example:

The pain of merging acquired company networks cannot be overstated!

IPv6 can help, but in my experience there's just soo much old IPv4 tech that no one is prepared to migrate to IPv6.
