If by "overkill" you mean that it *works better* than the other 
alternatives,
then I agree since ISATAP is  more automatic, agile and efficient than the
other alternatives. But, this would amount to an attarctive incentive 
and not
a negative as is usually implied by the term "overkill".

Otherwise, I have no idea how you could come up with the
term "overkill"; perhaps you could explain?
