I don't see how SLs give you that. The existence of SLs will not obviate the need for other filtering in the network, simply because they are too inflexible to serve a significant fraction of filtering needs. There is the risk that they will weaken security by encouraging over-reliance on a mechanism that is too inflexible for real-world use. And SLs cannot reliably tell apps whether traffic can get from point A to point B.
