My goal was not that we would have a "vote" on the solutions. It was 
merely to give an overview of what proposals have been made and where 
we are.

From what I can tell, there are two main-line solution classes that 
have some wider support. A loc/id separated solution, which seems to 
have the widest support and what most of the discussions seems to 
circling around. The second solution class seems to be a "host based" 
solution.
In addition there is HIP, which seems to pop up as an example in both 
of these solution classes.

Am I correct in my assumptions above?
