Yes, we do not believe that full-table distribution is feasible. You
disagree. It's clearly a matter of opinion, and you clearly don't agree with
our opinion. That's fine - just don't expect us to agree with yours, either.

The irony, to me, is that I have other people asking me if even a _caching_
system will scale, in terms of the amount of control traffic. If they are
right (and I take their concerns seriously, although I think the paper by
Iannone and Bonaventure shows that caching will scale OK), even a caching
system will produce too much control traffic.

So we're actually sort of in the middle on this point...
