Hi all,

I hope that everyone had a safe and uneventful trip home from Prague and that 
no one else had the seat right in front of the screaming baby.  ;-)

I would like to re-open the discussion on the mailing list. Based on the 
off-line discussions that I had with folks, I believe that we’re leaning 
towards including the LANs in the signaling and rate limiting link addition 
during repair.

Dissent? Discussion?

Tony
