If it is hard configured, then is has to be configured correctly.
Otherwise you have a conflict among two configured RID, then you have
a persistent non-working network.

If a autoconfig guy comes along and stomps on it, then only the
autoconfig guy backs off.

So you are saying that a vendor has a hack (private undocumented
extension might be the market-speak) that is not backwards compatible
to other implementations *of a full standard* and we can't create a
backwards compatible extension because it would interfere with the
hack?  (which you think is a very cool extension?)
