I agree. If we had a clean API, the multihoming issue would have been
much easier to solve. But we don't, so we have to do it the hard way.
We still need to work on an architecturally clean API at some point,
both because it's the right thing to do and because 20 years from now
or so we'll find ourselves in the same situation. (And I'm not a career
programmer, so maybe this isn't so much an issue for those who are, but
I find the current API almost unusably complex and arcane.)
