Neither is having 75% of NA trying to congregate on 8 out of 28 worlds.

For the time being, SE doesn't have anything to use for a good solution. Any current solution to the PF issue needs to be one of the players' efforts.

If the cloud data center testing works out decently, that might give SE a tool to help but even that will take time to get the current logical data centers integrated with the cloud data centers.
