EndpointSlice is a really bad cherry pick. I have written K8S controllers for 2+ years and only recently learned about it when I had to write an ingress controller. Funnily enough I also had to learn about externalTrafficPolicy because it turns out if you have a lot of pods and use an AWS ELB the traffic distribution can be terrible, so a daemonset with local-only routing to them and then round-robining to pods works wonders. You need to know none of this if you're not even close to the level of scale we are.
