Re: [Bier] BIER rechartering

[Tony Przygienda <[e-mail]>]

Hey Mr A,  I see 2 separate points here

1) if we talk "let's do something for v6 no silicon BIER forwarding" that's
one charter point & I think it's fine
2) if we talk about "let's talk about BIERoANYTHING as long it's 1-hop fwd'
paradigm" then I'm fine with adding that as well albeit I admit I think
with Ether & MPLS we have practical cases I see licked for some foreseable
future (maybe the famous penultimate words ;-)
