It was never tried so how can you say that it was broken
by design? The IPv6 is so vast that perhaps we should offer
some address space to be allocated by geography and see where
it leads to. Let the market decide rather than forcing everyone
into the "one true way".

New routers? Since when does BGP or any routing protocol
have to run on the routers themselves. Look inside a modern
router and you will often see that the routing and
packet forwarding decisions are done on separate CPUs.
And there are boxes on the market that do "route optimization"
which is just a way of taking the routing decisions outside
of the routers themselves.
