There has been no discussion of this ticket.

After further thought, I propose that this section be removed and the
requirements for agents acting as reporting nodes for host reports be
included in section 5.5.

If the section is kept then I propose removing the term "topology
hiding" and use server front end instead.  If we take this approach then
we need to have a definition of SFE in the terminology section.
