I've been badly burned by standards committees in the past on this
topic. Happens to be the IEEE folks, however. Ergo my belief in both
running code and testing in diverse environments outside of laboratories
and meeting rooms.
And, in the case of the home router market, code has to come from some
place. Advocating something that has to be built from scratch seems like
a losing strategy.

All Dave did was build and package quagga so that others could
conveniently start to play.

Quagga has been packaged. You can build other stuff and packaged it
too, and the code is available to be modified.
