Understood. However, what happens when a site changes mapping provider? My understanding is that the site must then change EIDs to the new provider's aggregate. This would seem to create a vendor lock for the mapping provider.
It's not so clear. It depends on where aggregation occurs. Also, keep in mind that the primary function of a mapping provider is to provide a stable EID prefix, so this sort of change should be extremely rare!!
