The mechanism proposed in this draft could work if carefully specified to deal
with edge cases (for example "poor man's multihoming").

However, for this to work changes are required to both routers and hosts.
If the router is a CPE, then we already have quite mature solutions that don't
require changes to hosts.

This would do nothing for hosts behind old CPEs. 

This draft could provide a solution of hosts that get moved to a different
VLAN. However, the need to update both hosts and router makes it more
attractive to find a solution that only requires hosts to be changed.
