I don't follow this line of reasoning. There is an endless number of ways to
configure a router, or collection of routers such that network connectivity
is broken.

Of course it is possible that some misconfigurations are common enough that
we need to do something, either publish more guidance or in specification
changes.

However, that should start with scenarios that are likely to occur.
Do we really want to speculate on what errors operators of enterprise
networks are going to make?
