Indeed. Trouble is with all automated systems is that the engineer that troubleshoot will at some point make assumptions about what the automated system does, often based on the premise that it always does the same and that there might not be anything to check or do anyway. I'm not saying it's bad, but the common practice of autoconfiguration mechanisms is that they are not included in the engineer's team and don't talk to each other....
