Hmm, shall we also rename "routing-protocol" to "networking-protocol"?
Seriously, I am concerned that we are drifting away from the original
focus of the data model. We should keep in mind it needs to remain
usable by hosts (even constrained ones) and simple routers because there
is no other model such devices could use.

If it ever gets finished.
