I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about implementors. There is 
no way on earth existings stacks are going to get demolished and 
reconstructed. Even getting them enhanced will mean a lot of
heavy lifting. Please see requirements 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 in
the multi6 requirements draft. (If there's a way to make 8+8
meet those requirements, fine.)
