I agree with you, in more ways that one.  Such an attribute adds to elegance.

As discussed earlier, one could, say, define the proverbial "brouter" which
would encapsulate the bridge and router(s) into a single entity instance.
I don't quite like it, but can learn to live with it.

I'm curious.  How do other feel?
