I can understand that, certainly, although some kind
of central list might help encourage third-parties to
provide the additional code. Mind you, it might also
scare them off, knowing the full magnitude of the
problem space!

With most software routing abandoned, I'd rather the
XORP team focus on what can be done, rather than to
attempt the impossible.
