Well Chuck, you have such extensive understanding of waves, so my opinion
may not be worth much...

Would the DWDM channel still be going through a DWDM mux? if it is not,
would there be a risk of passive intermodulation that its receiver wasn't
designed to handle without being filteres by a mux? I don't know if PIM
even exists at light frequencies.

Also some CWDM muxes may have a non-linear bandpass and be designed to
expect that the CWDM channel is "only using the middle" of their designated
wavelength, so if the DWDM channel is away from the middle, that could
cause reduced signal or a problem. Are those DWDM optics tunable, or this
situation allowing a change of wavelength?
