I forgot one of your points.

People are working hard on monitoring and manageability:

  - Barbara Stark and Mahesh Jethanandani are working on manageability
    within the IETF framework;
  - Nexedi are working on dynamic reconfiguration of interfaces by an
    external cross-layer (2->3) monitoring agent;
  - a number of people are working on monitoring, both by a human operator
    and by an external software agent:

        https://github.com/kerneis/babelweb
        https://github.com/Vivena/babelweb2
        https://github.com/tcatm/mmfd

However, none of this work is finished yet, and, given the wide range of
application domains of Babel, I do not feel comfortable to give any
definite advice about management.  I have therefore decided not to say
anything in this document.
