Extremely disappointing. I don't want to speak for Daniel, nor other operators really, but a solution that doesn't allow an operator to traffic engineer internally or externally is just not workable. For the same reasons quoted in your other messages to me: "Increased reliance on the Internet" If the network isn't reliable due to suboptimal routing issues it can't survive :( > condemning the result.

Hopefully that's changing for the better :)
