Of course, the first thing to do when you want to lose "complexity" is
"Stop adding to the problem" (as in "Put down the fork and push away
from the table...").
Oh..darn ..you mean I cant have a Session Border Controller for dessert ?

In a whimsical mood, I put up a web page that tries to

the Paris IETF Thursday plenary. So, for your bed time

Pekka this is a outstanding piece of work and I would suggest an
alternative thesis that fits your model.
"Why IMS is similar to grotesque body fat --- the case for cranial
liposuction among IMS engineers"
"Compulsive IMS ...how to reckgonise the problem and how to treat it"
"Bulimia networka ( aka IMS ) is defined as a period of uncontrolled
definition of network elements. The network designer places up
to10,000 boxes in an archichectural design . Bulimia networka is
commonly associated with excessive attendance at industry conferences
and standards bodies ( Stockholm Syndrome ) followed by purging
behaviors, i.e., service provider bankruptcy, layoffs, etc.
I'm sure we can expand on the model endlessly...
