If you look at routing table statistics like

http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/plota?file=%2fvar%2fdata%2fbgp%2fas4637%2fbgp%2dactive%2etxt&descr=Active%20BGP%20entries%20%28FIB%29&ylabel=Active%20BGP%20entries%20%28FIB%29&with=step

it looks like we're currently seeing more than 20K new prefixes per year,
and 239K will give you slightly more than two years. I'm afraid I believe
 "the forseeable future for IPv4" is considerably longer than two years.
