This is not completely true. Node ID does not require to modify ALL routers.
What it requires is a modification to the routers at locator domain (LD) borders.
The routers inside an LD (that do not route to other LDs) remain pure IP routers.
From that perspective it's similar to changing all ETRs and ITRs I would say.
