This is fine but one feature of an overlay is reducing routes in the core. So it is a feature that we’ll reduce routes in the core. If that is the same as solving “the core scaling problem”, is open for discussion. I agree the term “core scaling problem” is a very generic claim and very wide encompassing. > Since it is about the wording, not about changing any formats or procedures, > I very much agree that this can and should go on in parallel with the work on > addressing the technical topics we want to see covered.
