Me too, but there was this issue of the large installed base of
MODECFG-like things in existing implementations. Since I'm not
an implementor, I'm in the situation where I have to believe that
moving away from a MODECFG-like thing is a hardship.
*If* it's acceptablet to discount such claimed hardship, then I have to
agree with Bernards assertion that the IPSRA-style DHCP approach is
cleaner, more flexible, and in the long-term, less work.
