While I know Iljitsch (who is a really smart guy BTW) I doubt this assertion:

"But all of this rapid progress is going to slow in the next few years."

This is also a bit of hyperbole:

"The internet will soon be sailing in very rough seas, as it's about
to run out of addresses, needing to be gutted and reconfigured for
continued growth"

"Reconfigured", certainly, "gutted" probably not.
