Rene has a point. My +1 was with the idea of limiting the initially worked-out use cases, and avoiding any direct interference with progress in homenet. But understanding the requirements for constrained networks is desirable. What I don't know is whether those requirements can in fact be met by the same infrastructure components that we need for "professionally managed" networks. There may simply not be enough overlap between "nimble and heterogeneous" and "managed and homogeneous."
