Well, this will be fun. Yes Noel, you're right, this group didn't produce any routing revolutions, and loc/id separation is about problems on the identity function side, not routing ... but this group's best accomplishment imho was to understand that and spread the knowledge. 

Now I'll go back to doing good things with higher layer identities.  Ciao.

Separation of location and identity is very desirable, but it has basically
nothing to do with routing (other than removing identity functionality from
the names used for routing, making them a bit more tractable).

We still have the same old kludgy BGP global routing system we always had,
and _nothing_ has been proposed to improve/replace it.

Nonsense. It has produced no routing work at all.
