everything has its use. PWs have major problems loadbalancing over 
multiple links.  Also the complexity of mpls + associated control plane 
is a drawback in situations.  Sometimes vxlan provides the required 
functionality.  Why use a more complicated protocol when a simpler one 
is a 100% match for your requirements?
