Actually all of the above explode immediately and that is a feature not a
bug. Once enabled if a user sees some form of network meltdown or issue it
can shut it off and modify the network.

That is why I am against ephemeral nature of the proposed mechanism. As
such this can be seen as altitude based ticking bomb just waiting to reach
