This is very true of course but I can see value in receiving communities
from peers too. For example, one might want to use a tool that can
provide you with the amount of traffic destined for a specific community
that represents a geography in your peer's network. As tools develop in
this area, which they are, I can see communities being useful to get
other traffic or performance-related data.
