I would also ask people to expand their minds beyond the "it must
have a (near-)real-time mechanism" directly coupled to the Control
Plane" for a variety of reasons.  Such a tight coupling of /any/ two
systems inevitably, and unfortunately, will only fail at scale in
ways that likely would never have been predicted a priori[1] --
i think you're paying insufficient attention to this discussion, if
you think that failure predictions have not already been well made
with respect to the rover approach to routing security.
