> The IESG has received a request from the Operations and Management Area
> Working Group WG (opsawg) to consider the following document:
> - 'Problem Statement for the Automated Configuration of Large IP
> Networks'
>   <draft-ietf-opsawg-automated-network-configuration-04.txt> as
> Informational RFC

in general, imiho the document is not particularly harmful.  but section
10 Conclusions makes recommendations which are inappropriate and
contentious and should be removed.
