That I do not argue with.  In fact, we would very much like to have this
on all LSRs, such that we can switch out the front ends without having to
change the backends out.  What we would like is that the kireeti MIB be
standardized with the specical JNX bits generalized. The MIB is a good
match to how networks are being operated today, and as such, should form a
good basis for a standard MIB implemented across all platforms.
