As soon as we switch to IPv6, that's true.  But for now, I often share
(at the same time) a single IPv4 address with various people.

The idea is to completely give up on the idea of "blending into the
mass", since header-finger-printing lets them distinguish individuals
among the mass anyway.  So instead your user-agent string will be unique
(instead of common), but you'll never reuse the same one.
