No one inside "the inner circle" believes we have renumbering magic either.
It's one of those hardy myths.

We have mechanisms that we think will make *some* aspects of renumbering
*easier* than in IPv4.  That's not at all the same as saying renumbering
will always be easy, trivial, or magical with IPv6, and so let's not
operate under that delusion here, OK?
