   Yes but it depends on what kind of router it is. ISPs arent the only ones
   using routers these days....for the corporate environment where traffic
   is relatively light, the ability to do other stuff is a big win.

I'm not sure if you meant to imply that all corporate environments have
light traffic loads.  Let me be the first to assure you that it's NOT the
case.  Let me also point out that the corporate environment is the last
place where you want to risk an unnecessary outage and the place where you
really can afford more systems.

It's the home environment where the budget is tight that could particularly
benefit from this.  But that also assumes that the cost of bandwidth to the
home comes way down, ala @Home.
