If the theory that NGRouting and traditional routing as implemented by
stable (without much actual specialization) is correct, then we have a
few options:
1. Try to get a big enough NGR-only test network for routing to actually
take place, and test that. Drawbacks: difficult to compare performance
between networks, would need at least 200 nodes to demonstrate routing.

2. Merge immediately. Drawbacks: massive, not properly tested, end user
visible change.

3. Continue trying to make the bloody thing work. Drawbacks: IF the 
theory is correct, this is futile; RNFs and very low success
probabilities will prevail.

Side notes:
What is still left to do on unstable? Routing is the core. The consensus
on IIP is that it is working better than stable in all non-routing
areas...


The most responsible thing would be to try to do #1... I need at least
100 volunteers with permanent nodes... include NGRTEST in your subject
line. I need to know at least most of the participants, because we need
to have a good idea of the size of the test network initially. Running
more than 1 node per computer might or might not be helpful... And of
course there is the issue of content.

If there is sufficient interest this is definitely the way to go. But if
it turns out to be another prodnet of 30 or so nodes running on 10 PCs,
it won't be so good.
