How about "IPv4 address depletion?"

I'm perfectly happy with how my network works.  I do, however, want it to keep growing, and this requires more addresses.  

The requirement for organizations with thousands (or in some cases millions) of deployed customers to dramatically change how they can associate an IP address with customer ports (or provide remote configuration of said customers' devices) is not an attractive feature.
