The last time we had this discussion there there were strong objections
- in particular from Weiming (CCed to wake him up). Our implementation
doesnt use this feature (and does what you described). The idea is to be
able to populate LFB tables before allowing the FE to process packets.

Your earlier suggestion to have a read-write admin-status and a
read-only operation-status would be the most sensible.
The discussion as i recall was to not have adminEnable enumeration
because operational enable in this case implied Admin enabled.
