I think your time spent with commit access to XR has given you a overly
rosy world view on how easy it is to get feature requests implemented :-)

My experience with vendor feature requests varies from abysmally poor to
don't-even-bother-asking, which I guess is what happens when your annual
L2/L3 capex budget is less than $100m.

But as Chris mentioned, we all run vendor heterogeneous networks these
days, never mind running different code versions from the same vendor, or
even different operating systems from the same vendor.  How do we handle
consistent policy during a migration period?  I have no idea, unless you're
ok with crazy mad REs like the one posted earlier (which I'm not because I
need to debug this sort of thing).
