ARIN runs out of IPv4 addresses

The American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN) has made it official: "ARIN is no longer able to fulfill requests for IPv4 address space" [arin.net]. There are a couple of exceptions, but for ordinary users the store is empty.

So now what? Do we expect mass transitions to IPv6, attempts at NAT to delay the change even longer, or an ongoing effort to turn this into Somebody Else's Problem?
