Speaking for the network I operate, I'm very much an advocate of saying that "Enterprise Edge Router" is "in-scope".  We would very much benefit from a standards-based measurement enablement and collection regime vs. mostly proprietary, and non-scalable, approaches that exist today.

This is not to diminish the importance of similar test capabilities for residential broadband use-cases.  We absolutely need to work on those, as well.  

With respect to priority, my hope is that we do not have to choose to prioritize one over the other.  Rather, I would hope that both can be developed in parallel, because both -- at least, IMO -- have a substantially overlapping set of requirements/features. 

My $0.02,
