Hi Jakob,

Very fair and good summary !

One question: What is "unintended routing" ? Are you alluding to "churn" If
so pls see my reply to previous post.

Just to reiterate ... I do recommend that whatever option gets more support
it should be spelled out in the Large Community RFC such that all
implementations can be consistent.

Best,
Robert
