The problem is how do you automatically generate this?  The FEA could
do this, but the rtrmgr has no inbuild knowledge of the FEA or of
interfaces, so it can't generate this information.  Currently there's
no way for the rtrmgr to dynamically update a running config from the
running processes - the model is that the running config is what the
user said it was.   The rtrmgr that would need to use this information
to configure routing protocols, so it would need to know.
