It is not clear (there is not consensus in the community) that the problems
described with 8+8/GSE cannot be resolved. It is certainly the case that
said problems won't be resolved if nobody works on them; some in the community
feel that such work would be a good idea.
These same people believe that work on a scalable Internet routing/addressing
architecture, specifically in the area of implementing a clean EID/locator
split, is badly needed; it is, perhaps, the most pressing issue facing the
long-term growth of the Internet.
The solution to the routing/addressing scaling problem may use 8+8/GSE. Or
it may be something compeltely different. But more work is badly needed in
this area.
