I am *very* lazy, and this is why I don't deploy things I know I'm
not needing.

And if I have 4 routers and know there won't be more, a route reflector
is a textbook thing that other people can befit from, but for me, it's
just added complexity, added configuration, added work, and new sources
of problems.

(I do deploy RRs in my network, but in a non-textbook configuration,
because the textbook setup doesn't make sense for us - so I'm not opposed
to RRs in general, just to blindly deploying what other people think 
everyone should do)
