Once the pandora's box of stepping on protocols to favor another is open, it can't be shut. This sends a great signal to carriers that they'd best not fool with consumer access. Be a good carrier; don't mess with protocols to favor your own perceived traffic. Controversial no doubt; a good one this time, IMHO.

This box you speak of has been open a long time. Prime evidence is port 25 shenanigans and other anti-spam measures, and there are others.
