Whereas I think its on the right track, even if a little harsh.

  * We cannot impose/force changes to improve things

  * We can encourage or educate for upgrades and improvement

Many of these are problems only for the initial days/months/years of 
rollout, but the base specification needs to include a long-term (10+ 
year) view for dealing with the network state when these things have 
been resolved.


+1 from me on the whole initial list as written.
