Like I said, it's going to be a messy experiment - for probably a 
decade, at least.

As Saku has highlighted as well, vendors are likely to find a lot of 
sludge in this experiment that they will never be able to share with 
us... likely because it will be too complicated for us to understand in 
a coherent way, or likely because the experiment changes so rapidly it 
makes no sense to tell us about issues which will quickly become obsolete.

Many lessons will be learned, but ultimately, one would be naive to 
think this black box will just work.

All I want is a "set routing-options fib-compression disable" present 
for Christmas.

Mark.
