Basically, you are right, but this kind of capability is valid almost
the same way as other capabilities. Let's take "FQDN Capability". We
can change the hostname, but the session remains up with the old
hostname. Of course, this version capability is designed more for
"modern" datacenter designs "Routing on the host". I doubt if it would
be useful for ISP-like architectures. It's not a single tool to manage
all cases :)
