Hi Michael:

My understanding is that it is simpler to just check the OCP than first match the OCP in the config option and then go figure the metric in the metric option.
Not that it is a huge overhead but I fail to understand why you claim that the single OCP is simpler.
And no, I do not see that splitting in a future when implementations are already shipping will be easy; 
a mixed deployment would have to fall back to legacy from the root down, meaning that it will hardly ever evolve. 
LLN Devices that we install now some of the deployments (eg industrial) are expected last for 20+ years with minimum (no) intervention on them but maybe battery changes.

Cheers,

Pascal

I think what you are saying is that splitting MRHOF into multiple OCPs in the future would not be so difficult a thing to do.

There is a coding simplicity in what we have now, and we should be conscious of the constraints of our devices.
