But the fact that these solutions exist points to a need unmet by
existing e2e approaches. Someone in IETF operations had presumably
thought out their requirements when this service was procured.
Embedding e2e within a solution that satisfies those same operational
requirements sounds like a potential IETF WG charter in the making.

I'm  not really sure what you folks are talking about anymore. A CDN
whether internal or a third party is an extension of the applications
stack, not a bump in the wire.

building scalable performant low latency services is a distributed
systems problem and there are a number of areas of the ietf activity
(all of them probably) involved in doing.
