I'm unwilling to give up the speed advantages offered by our use of
CNI (which is nowhere near as prevalent as people here seem to
think).  However, I think these decisions must really be made on a
class-by-class basis, and we don't have enough information yet to make
them.  So the answer is, "it depends".
