As long as endpoint IDs (with or without conflated locators) continue  
to be overloaded for policy purposes, renumbering is likely remain  
challenging, irrespective of changes to the routing and addressing  
architecture.  Fundamental changes to the current loosely-coupled  
stack model may be required in order to remove largely siloed policy  
overloading as a barrier to renumbering.
