Yeah, but LISP is as [in]accessible to end-users as BGP is and it will
be like that forever. It requires ISPs to opt-in to provide this. LISP
is not a universal option.

LISP matters to the Internet core, it doesn't matter to the whole Internet.
It is just not universal.

LISP does not require your physical ISP to support LISP in order to receive service.  It is available in open source as 
well as low end CPE routers, in addition to larger, more expensive (and capable) routers sold by various vendors.

I don't know what you mean by universal, so I can't really respond to that.  However, if you'd like a list of LISP 
service providers to provide you the benefits of multi-homing in a non BGP environment, or to deliver IPv6 packets over 
an IPv4 intent connection, please contact me off line.
