Egress Post Summary

As with my recent Worksharing, Site and Reference Plane summaries, I've added a link to this post which will serve as my summary landing spot for Egress Path posts. It's been about six years now since I demonstrated the new line based family as an egress path. The subject is still going strong and there are more options to choose from now.
