Lucy, we are not removing anything. Like I said (and I don't want to 
continually repeat myself) that the features are tradeoffs.

The motivation for the change was to get VXLAN to have protocol demuxing. And 
in the spirit of keeping the packet formats for VXLAN and LISP as identical as 
VXLAN will have it, the P-bit is being proposed for LISP.

This is a proposal. The LISP working group must decide if the draft becomes a 
working group document.
