Yes, that's another part of the conversation, encouraging the use of
an IGP, which has been a source of trouble for them because of broken
wireless bridges from a very commonly used vendor that randomly eat
multicast packets, so it's not as straightforward as it should be.

Ok, fair enough. My first experience with PBR was as a summer intern in
the mid-1990s who inherited management of a large ATM network that had
a big VPN-esque thing built entirely that way and with no
documentation. It certainly felt evil at the time. ;)
