These are pretty academic discussions. If you only have one area, then you don
't have too many routers so it's no big deal to change the area number. If you
have more than one area, you *have* to have a backbone area, so that solves th
at problem.
If you merge with another company, why would you want to use an IGP to link to
routing domains? That's what EGPs are for.
or so it seems to me.
