No, I am not suggesting a return to the UUCP model. If I was then I would have said that. I am suggesting that we apply the lessons learned from the BGP peering model.

I'm skeptical that a model that only sort of works for under 30K ASNs and maybe 1K bilateral peering agreements for the *really* big Tier-1s won't scale to a world that has 40M+ .com domains and probably a million SMTP servers.
