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.
Can you explain the reasons of the divorce?
I'd prefer to think of it as an amicable parting, i.e.,
still on speaking terms but entertaining other possibilities.

Stuff that steers routing decisions toward a unique
node/site/domain/cluster/etc., I would hope.
I don't think anyone is "gambling" on new and different solutions
Unless you have some realistically deployable answers to the question,
calling for PI now is a gamble that we will find a way to clean it or
leave behind a mess 10 times bigger than the v4 swamp.
In a different message, Brian characterized the NIMROD effort
as a failure. But, I wonder whether similar alternatives might
be viable. (Notice I'm only wondering here; not gambling...)
