As completely plain routers have no difficulty to treat a
default route, it is a waste of money and effort to try to
have not so plain routers to do so regardless of whether the
routers are SDN ones or not.

You have reached a terminal point in the NANOG mailing list state
machine: NOP-ARGUE

Many paths lead to this state, and it isn't unique to NANOG.

The sub-state is: I-THINK
People are now arguing about the relative merits of
their counter argument to what they *THINK* you said.

My take: having the term SDN in the Subject: doomed this conversation.
