I agree entirely, and it's clear that somebody (not necessarily vendors)
will need to write a simple guide on ways to connect up your homenet.
What we should perhaps worry about is tools (beyond classical loop
prevention in bridging and routing protocols) to detect broken topologies
and tell the user about them in a meaningful way. In other words,
instead of "support" arbitrary topologies, "diagnose" unsupported
topologies.
