I don’t think that’s the issue.   I think the issue is that “no flash renumbering” is a nice-to-have, not a must, because the layers above layer two can adapt when layer two breaks.   We’ve done a lot of efforts to try to fix this problem at layer two, and none of them have succeeded.

This is not to say that making layer two as solid as possible shouldn’t be a goal; just that it is merely one of the tools we have for making the network reliable, not the /only/ tool.
