Pledges.

Power off on all racks; humans pressing factory reset buttons. Systems coming
back in random order. All dependencies broken.

Yes, and that's why I thought that in Berlin we'd agreed on a Flood based
model (where the proxy floods out its info and any pledge can listen).
That's what's coded in demo form as Reggie.py, Procksy.py and Pledji.py at
https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~brian/graspy/brski/ . I also coded the
discovery approach but it's more complex as well as more vulnerable.
