Say what?

In deployment terms (which also has a big effect on the economics), it's very
important, because it tells you whether one needs to modify hosts or not. You
may not think that's a significant barrier, but I (and probably others) don't
agree.

Even in architectural terms, it's important: whether some function is
implemented in 'the network' or 'the edge' is a fairly significant decision in
architectural terms - and it is just that choice that the CES/CEE choice
highlights.

Yes, CES/CEE is not the only, or most, significant architectural axis, but
it's surely not one I would characterize as 'not really ... important'.
