Do you base this statement on hard evidence or conventional wisdom?

Solve either of those problems and you're done.
Exactly. Margaret, you are gambling on the fact that we will find a
solution to a problem that we have been working on for the last 11 years
and remains unsolved.
PI does not scale. As of today, the closest thing we have is ID/LOC and
aggregating the locators.
Your statements seem to be focused on the solutions we have at hand
today along with the unspoken assumptions we have held as truths in
the past. I used to think that carefully-managed hierarchical routing
was the only way to go to achieve scalability, but I am no longer wed
to that assumption. I don't think anyone is "gambling" on new and
different solutions, but I do believe we should keep the door open
to them.
