Jim is totally right. I meant you *can* use any type of pipe to build a
such large machine, but you should not use any *topology*. It's the
reality that each interconnect is tight to a specific topology today,
thus you may extend this limitation from topology to interconnect, but
it's only a side effect.

Sorry about the lapsus.
