I totally disagree. If PaaS was the answer, they'd all be using PaaS.

Maybe some day, but that's no excuse for having an overly complex story
for the base. I totally appreciate that "Get me a network" is an effort
to address this. But after reading docs on it, I actually have no idea
how it works or how to make use of it (I do have a decent understanding
of how to setup a default subnetpool as an operator).
