sure.  in a lead-lined concrete vault for our grandchildren.

the routing architecture issues the usual suspects are churning have
been the same for decades, yes plural.  i find the least optimism that
they will be resolved by these same folk in my lifetime amusing at best.

until the map and encap and other hackers give way to good math folk, we
will get nowhere.  and there has been zero motion in this direction.
