Yes, but of course I brought it up to show that 'the last one simply wins' as 
suggested by the draft is not enough IMO. A good architecture should probably 
keep track of what it served as answer and when the answer is invalid or a new, 
better one exists, provide a GARP. 

As well, when PE2 sends a newer MAC it may not be a good strategy to serve a 
GARP if PE1's MAC has already been offered. That could lead IMO to e.g. gateway 
chasing problems.

There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and 
people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
