I hope I was clear enough that this is absolutely more important that
edge/core separation. But if you organically have enough MPCs and
ports, that you don't need to invest on more cards, then you should
separate edge+core as well.
But of course if your density is low, you're not gonna buy 4 MPCs just
to have this, and that is fine.
