Indeed.  There is no need to scrap things, but if the design as it
stands, and the intended means of creating objects for use in
containers, is going to result in an unworkable network, then we have to
re-evaluate how the container constructs are created, and that then has
possible consequences for how we would get from an incoming packet to
the proper container.

I'm not trying to stop the "support train" here, but at the same time,
if the train is headed for a bridge that's out....
