It is always amusing to see people allude to the end-to-end principle to su=
pport their arguments, when in fact the end-to-end principle is either inap=
plicable to the topic at hand, or actually lends support to the opposite of=
their arguments.

LISP gains value as more of the edge is incorporated into the system. This=
doesn't mean it has no value during intermediate stages of deployment.
There are cogent arguments to be made against LISP and LISP-like systems. =
But none of those arguments have been raised in this thread, so far.
