You're talking about the features, not the problem. Every tunnel that
includes encryption supports security and can be used for a VPN. Routing
isn't part of a tunnel (a tunnel ends in interfaces); routing happens in
the overlay *to* that tunnel interface. And traffic engineering is easy
in a tunnel *if* it's supported in the base network over which the
tunnel operates, and impossible otherwise.

I'm not claiming this wouldn't be useful. I'm saying that we need to
know what problem it solves to know where to home it.
