Re: [forces] Adoption of ForCES Inter-FE LFB draft-joachimpillai-forces-interfelfb

The intent is to use IANA ForCES metadata definitions. So at least
for those it is clear there will be no conflict.
The IANA definition does allow for private definitions which could be
used; in such a case the synchronization is really out of scope.
IOW, this issue has to do with CE-CE synchronization more than this
LFB. I have added text to indicate that if we had a cluster of CEs
controlling FEs, then it is expected they will synchronize their
values.

cheers,
