imagine you have an application A and B and a link X. You advertise application

Application B is also enabled to use the metric M, but you do not want
application B to use metric M on the link X (because you do not want
application B to include the link X in its topology). How do you do that
without ASLA? The answer is you can’t
That’s ok, because doing that would be silly.
If you don’t want application B to use metric M, then you create metric N and
use that for application B.
well, I find it much less "silly" to signal a per application value of
metric M, rather than come up with the new metric type every time a new
application appears. Especially considering that we have an ASLA
framework already defined in the RFC.

The generic metric is NOT one metric. It’s a whole host of them. Plenty to go
around. Multiple metrics per application, all out of the single space.
