Yes, that's another part of the conversation, encouraging the use of an IGP, which has been a source of trouble for them because of broken wireless bridges from a very commonly used vendor that randomly eat multicast packets, so it's not as straightforward as it should be. > evil is not a synonym for ugly patch placed over a problem that > could be handled better.
