there is another way to look at this, consider geobased routing... but
that's like swearing in any church/temple.

Not to forget it will likely create atleast a dozen other issues we have
to deal with... like how and who should manage it, and how should it be
routed etc. Someone will either way have to carry the "covering" prefix
for any region. But who said moving mountains (or moving the wind) should
be easy?

Either way, it is another way to look at this :-)
